Story

Since the age of 11, when I received my first diagnosis of asthma, I have encountered daily struggles, with occasional visits to the A&E. As a keen sports person, I have felt this condition has held me back, creating the false belief that asthma limits physical activities and prevents me from achieving my full potential.

Participating in the London Marathon in 2024 will provide me with a unique opportunity to challenge the stereotypes associated with asthma. That's why I have committed to running in support of Asthma + Lung UK, the sole UK charity fighting for everyone's right to breathe. Every pound I raise will directly contribute to crucial research initiatives aimed at discovering improved treatments, enhancing asthma management, and ultimately finding a cure for this chronic respiratory condition. My goal is to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals living with asthma, enabling them to lead healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives.

I ask for your support on this journey by making a donation, no matter the size. Your contribution will bring us one step closer to a world where everyone can breathe freely and enjoy healthy lungs.

In advance, I would like to Thank you for your generosity and support. Your contribution will not only assist me in completing this extraordinary challenge but, more importantly, will contribute to Asthma + Lung UK's mission of enhancing the lives of those affected by asthma. Together, we can take significant strides toward creating a world where everyone can enjoy the gift of healthy lungs.
