Last weekend, over 500 of you took on the iconic London Marathon and raised over £1 million.
The money will help fund vital lung health research and make sure we can provide expert advice and support when people need it most. Thank you #TeamBreathe 💜🧡

From teenage smoker to cancer survivor, @CR_UK ambassador Joshua knows the harmful effects of tobacco all too well.
He's backing the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, which will create the world’s first smoke-free generation and break the cycle of addiction.
