Having got the running bug, Callum and I are running the Nice to Cannes marathon on 30 October 2022! Jon, who has never done a run event before will be taking on the 20k event from Nice to Villeneuve-Loubet.

We are fundraising for Asthma + Lung UK. They help support people who live with Asthma, COPD and other respiratory problems.

Although Callum’s Asthma is mild, it can still impede him from taking part in sports. COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) on the other hand can impact everyday life. Simple trips to the corner shop become a challenge and some people may require the use of a mobility scooter. Depending on how severe the condition is, some people may require an oxygen tank everywhere they travel. Imagine the feeling of an elephant on your chest whilst carrying/pulling an oxygen tank with you. That's the best way to describe a day living with COPD.

Our dad, Colin, suffers from COPD and receives some amazing care and support from the NHS and Asthma + Lung UK.

1 in 5 of us will have a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute.

I'm fundraising 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!
