Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
🏃♂️ 10km, 60 Minutes, and a Whole Lot of Drum & BassLast year, I crossed the London 10k finish line at 1 hour and 15 minutes. It was a solid start, but this July, I’m heading back to the capital for a rematch. My goal? To smash that time and finish in under 60 minutes.
The motivation? My Dad.
Watching him navigate the challenges of Parkinson’s is a daily lesson in grit. I’m running to raise money for Parkinson’s UK, the charity that supports every journey, every step of the way. They don’t wait for change; they fund the research, campaign for better care, and provide the life-changing services that families like ours need.
The Strategy:
The Soundtrack: High-speed Drum & Bass to keep my legs moving faster than my brain can tell them to stop.
The Goal: Shave 15+ minutes off my PB (moving from "leisurely jog" to "man on a mission").
The Cause: Improving life for everyone living with Parkinson’s and finding that cure.
"We’re a powerful community united by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s."
I’m hitting the pavement to make my Dad proud and hit that sub-hour mark. If you can donate—even the price of a pint or a coffee—it would mean the world. Every penny helps Parkinson’s UK make change happen.
