Because running a Half-Marathon might not be challenging enough at 40.

So not content in trying to potentially destroy my lungs and vital organs in February running a Half-Marathon, I have decided to really finish them off by signing up for the London Marathon 2023! Luckily my lungs will be in great hands as I will be running to raise money as part of #TeamBreathe for Asthma + Lung UK!

Joking aside, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and it’s a great cause that I’m honoured to represent. If you would like to donate please head here. I have pledged to raise £2000 and I hope that money can aid them in their vital work providing health advice through their helpline, undertaking research and influencing policy for various lung conditions such as COPD and Asthma, but also improving core functions such as design and user insight to help improve services (full disclosure here, The Beautiful One is the Head of User Insight + Design for Asthma + Lung UK)!

Anyhow, registration is complete and I’m very excited to raise funds and awareness to help improve peoples lung health as everyone should have the right to breathe freely. Please donate if you can! Also feel free to come track my progress and support on Strava and on Instagram too!
