Taking on a marathon or half marathon in 2027? Whether you’re an experienced runner, completing your first race, or looking for a personal challenge, we would love for you to choose Breathing Matters as your charity and help support our vital research.
We believe every runner’s journey is unique. That’s why we offer places across a range of events, giving you the freedom to choose the challenge that is right for you – whether that’s a local race, a major city marathon, or even an international one.
By fundraising for Breathing Matters, you will be helping to support research into pulmonary fibrosis and lung infections, bringing hope to patients and families, and helping researchers work towards better understanding, diagnosis and treatment.
Every mile you run and every donation you raise will make a difference.
