I'm running The London Marathon 2024 for Asthma + Lung UK as I lost my mum in 2022 to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, after only a short 12 months battling the disease. The awareness around this disease in comparison to others is very minimal, we received incorrect diagnosis', were overlooked by many professionals and ultimately felt left in the dark on what options there were. 

1 in 5 of us will have a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute. Respiratory care in the UK simply just isn't good enough, lung disease is now the third most common cause of death however  millions do not receive the basic levels of care and  few advances are being made in the way lung disease is detected. I want to fundraise with the hopes to help at least one other family going through the same thing and push for innovative development in research, treatments and give everyone the chance to breath healthy.

Asthma + Lung UK are the only UK charity that fights for everyones right to breathe. Every pound I'm able to raise will take us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs.Just £22 allows one of Asthma + Lung UKs nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
