🎯 So, What's Next?

Nick has reached Land's End. The finish line has been crossed. But the campaign isn't finished.

When Nick spoke after completing his 950+ mile run, he summed it up perfectly: "I can stop running now. People living with pulmonary fibrosis can't simply stop living with the disease. So although I've reached my finish line, the campaign hasn't."

Thanks to your support, the Every Breath is Precious campaign has now raised £50,000. An incredible achievement and a huge milestone for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust.

But we're not stopping there.

Our goal is to raise £100,000 by the end of the year to support people living with pulmonary fibrosis and their families through practical support, equipment, home adaptations, awareness and research.

With Nick's upcoming book launch, charity dinner and further fundraising activity still to come, we're only halfway through this journey.

So if you've been inspired by Nick's challenge but haven't yet donated, there's still time to get involved.

💙 THANK YOU FOR HELPING MAKE IT HAPPEN 💙

A few days ago, Nick reached Land's End and completed an incredible journey of more than 950 miles from John O'Groats. Together, we also achieved something special, raising £50,000 for the charity's Every Breath is Precious campaign.

Today, we simply want to say:

Thank you.
Thank you to everyone who donated.
Thank you to everyone who followed the journey, shared posts, sent messages of encouragement, welcomed Nick into your communities, joined him for a few miles, attended meet and greets, honked your horn, waved from the roadside or cheered him on from afar.

This challenge may have started with one runner, but it became something much bigger.

We'd also like to thank our campaign sponsors and supporters:
Associated Stairlifts Ltd
Boehringer Ingelheim

Nick's Endurance Partner : Tailwind Nutrition NZ
and Kit Suppliers - HOKA Shoe Clinic New Zealand ZeroTwenty2 SportsCo

And last but by no means least the incredible volunteer team who were there every step of the way:

Every donation, every share and every word of support helped shine a light on pulmonary fibrosis and the people living with this devastating disease.

HE MADE IT!!

This morning, Nick Ashill reached Land’s End.

On 5 September, he stood at John O’Groats with more than 900 miles of Britain ahead of him.

Today, after the equivalent of around 34 marathons, through all terrains and all in weather, he completed the run.

It’s a cause that is deeply personal to Nick. After losing his mum to pulmonary fibrosis, Nick has ran across America, Australia, and now Britain to raise awareness and vital funds for charity.

And today, at Land’s End, he finally got to stop running!! 💙

To Nick, what an extraordinary thing you have done!
To Nicks team, you are all incredible!

And while the run may be finished, the reason behind it isn’t.
People affected by pulmonary fibrosis still need information, practical support and a community around them, and every donation to Nick’s challenge helps the Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust continue that work.

If you’d like to help us mark the finish, you can still donate here:

And keep an eye on our socials... There’s plenty more from Nick’s to come, including today’s media coverage. 👀

September may be coming to an end, but pulmonary fibrosis awareness doesn’t end here.

What a month it has been.

We’ve watched Nick Ashill make his extraordinary journey from John O’Groats to Land’s End, carrying the message that Every Breath is Precious 900 miles across Great Britain.

Kenny and Jacob have continued their incredible challenge around Scotland’s football grounds. Team PFT took on the Great North Run and the Vitality London 10,000. Our Every Breath Club has been growing, bringing people together through movement, community and awareness.

We’ve heard from people living with pulmonary fibrosis, from carers and families, and from those helping us shine a light on a disease that far too many people still know little about.

We’ve marked World Lung Day, shared the practical support PFT provides, met supporters out in the community, and seen people across the country walk, run, talk, share and fundraise for families affected by PF.

Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month gives us a reason to turn up the volume each September.

But for us, awareness is every day.

Every day brings new diagnoses. Every day families need support. And every day is another opportunity to help more people understand pulmonary fibrosis.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of September with us. 💙
We hope you will stay with us as our story unfolds.
