Those of you who know me well will know that I have lived with bronchiectasis for many years. I’m fortunate to have received brilliant care and treatment from respiratory and other medical and surgical teams at University Hospitals Southampton, and as well as wanting to do my best to stay as healthy as possible through completing this physical challenge, it is also time to give back, raise awareness and much much needed funds. 

1 in 5 of us will have a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute.  We have the worst death rates in Europe from  Lung Disease and it’s one of the biggest killers in the U.K.  As well as wanting to improve these shocking outcomes, living happy, healthy and comfortable lives even with lung disease makes such a difference too.  I want to support improving lives for everyone affected by lung disease. 

 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!
