My Dad loved the outdoors. Rock climbing and hill walking in the Lake District, sailing on the South Coast and taking part in the Fastnet Race, abseiling and much more. He also loved watching sport including athletics and when i was little he'd sit me on his knee to watch important races! Dad was in his 80's when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's and passed away in 2019. I know he'd be very proud that Clover and I are running the London Marathon to raise money for Parkinson's UK and to help improve the life's of people living with Parkinson’s. I'm sure he'll be looking down and watching us and cheering us on.

I’m running for Parkinson’s UK, a charity close to my heart. Sadly my Grandad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and suffered with the symptoms of this disease until he passed away. Him and my Nana relied on the charity for support both socially and medically and giving something back to them is an amazing opportunity! Please donate and share! Let’s raise some money for an awesome charity, all whilst I run and train for my first ever full marathon with my mum!
Parkinson’s is a complex brain condition that has no cure and gets worse over time. It has more than 40 symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety. And Parkinson's is on the rise. Someone is diagnosed every 20 minutes in the UK today. By 2050, the number of people with Parkinson’s worldwide will double to 25 million.
Parkinson’s UK is the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.
From searching for a cure and campaigning for better health and care, to funding research into groundbreaking new treatments and running life-changing support services. It’s all driven by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.
That’s why I’m fundraising for Parkinson’s UK.
