Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
I'm running the Great North Run for the first time this year and I'm fundraising on behalf of Parkinson's UK, in memory of my granda, who lived with Parkinson's for a number of years.
If you don't know about Parkinson's, it's a progressive neurological condition that affects the brain's ability to make enough dopamine to control movement properly and the most common symptoms are tremors (shaking), slowness of movement and stiffness.
Parkinson's UK are a fantastic charity who help support people on their Parkinson's journey: campaigning for better health and care, funding research into new treatments and running life-changing support services.
I would love it if you would be kind of enough to donate some money towards to such a worthy cause. Thanks!
