I'm fundraising to support millions affected by lung disease during the coronavirus crisis.

I have been raising money for the British Lung Foundation for just over 2 years now, I do this to raise funds for research and good work as well as raise awareness for lung disease.

My little girl has a rare interstitial lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans, she has asthma and a rare condition called plastic bronchitis. She has been struggling since she’s been small and she makes me so proud with her struggles each day. Her conditions make life difficult for her and she often misses school and has frequent infections and hospital stays.  If you could spare any money I would be very grateful. The BLF I owe a lot to and love, they have kept me sane with their devotion and support both through the fundraising team, helplines, emails and calls.

Thank you for visiting my Take Steps page. This September I'm getting active to raise money to help people with lung conditions get the support they need. I'm fundraising for the British Lung Foundation, the only charity that supports all 12 million people with a lung condition in the UK.

The BLF knows just how difficult the current crisis has been for people with a lung condition. Their Helpline alone has been receiving up to 3x more calls than normal and they're working round the clock to make sure people get the support they need, helping to ease the strain on the NHS. They're publishing up to date advice and information every day but they need support...

Every £57 I raise through my Take Steps pays for a nurse to work on the Helpline for 1 hour, meaning that those in need can receive crucial medical advice and support when they need it most.
