Why I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Strength isn’t about never doubting yourself — it’s about what you choose after the doubt.
My brother lives with early-onset Parkinson’s. Like anyone, he has his hard days. But what defines him is his attitude: “I will not be beaten.” That determination is something I see and admire and I have learnt a lot from him and about Parkinson's disease and it deserves to be supported.
Because of that, starting 1st March I’m taking on a challenge: 50 miles in 50 days. I’m already in training and fully committed for this first challenge and one of many this year.
This isn’t about proving anything — it’s about standing with those who refuse to let Parkinson’s define them.

If you’d like to join me for a mile, support, or donate, every penny helps in the fight against Parkinson’s. I’ll be sharing progress along the way.
