Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK.

Whilst things are clearly tough in the current climate, If you are unable to sponsor me, please could you spread this page far and wide to help meet the target.
