Your fundraising page

Your fundraising page will be automatically set up when you register. Just give it a personal touch and share it! All fundraising from our Great South Run team will help fund vital research and support services that help everyone with Parkinson's and those who love and care for them. 

In 2026, join our team for the Great South Run and help us achieve our fundraising target of:

£6,550

£195 could fund a day's work for a research assistant preparing samples of brain tissue, helping find clues to the causes of Parkinson’s.

£540 could fund a home visit from one of our Parkinson’s local advisers, helping a person living with Parkinson’s navigate the complex challenges of social care, benefits and employment issues.

£2,250 could fund 2 weeks of work for a speech and language therapist, helping people living with Parkinson’s gain confidence in being heard and understood.
