Melissa’s Grandma suffered from multiple lung conditions throughout her whole life. She had asthma, bronchitis and pseudomonas which unfortunately meant she lost her battle in June 2022, aged only 75. 

This charity is close to our hearts and although I (Melissa) has never ran a marathon it will push me through! 

1 in 5 of us will have a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute.I'm running The London Marathon 2023 for Asthma + Lung UK. Theyre 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!
