Having suffered from asthma all my life, I am raising money for Asthma + Lung UK by running the London Marathon on 21 April 2024.

This fantastic charity fights for clean air and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to finding a treatment, cure or a better way to diagnose and support those with asthma and lung conditions.

In 40 years, they've invested over £100m in research and have provided grants for thousands of research initiatives. Collaborating with top research institutions, they've saved lives by enhancing pneumonia treatment in children, aiding COPD recovery, and transforming lung problem diagnosis in pre-schoolers.

They also played a vital role in COVID-19 research, determining testing methods, identifying high-risk individuals, and improving vaccination outreach.
