Story

During our lifetimes, 1 in 5 of us will have a lung condition. There's a new diagnosis every minute.

Throughout my time on the planet, I have had friends and family afflicted by asthma to varying degrees. Late night hospital visits to the doctor when a loved one was unable to breathe; watching friends endeavor to breathe normally, unable to enjoy events alongside me...

These are the reasons why I'm running the London Marathon 2023 for Asthma + Lung UK. They are the only United Kingdom charity that fights for everyone's right to breathe. Every pound I raise takes us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs.

Raising just £22 allows a Asthma + Lung UK nurse to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'm very grateful for any donations you make!
