Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the TCS 2026 London Marathon for Parkinson’s UK and would really appreciate your support!
Last year, my fabulous dad Ian, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Thanks to drug treatment and therapy, the disease seems to be progressing slowly, but these treatments didn't just magically happen. They're the result of years of study and research, and that costs money. So I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK to support their continuing research to develop even more effective treatments and hopefully, one day, a cure. My dad and I used to run together so it seems fitting that having finally received a ballot place in the London marathon, I'm using it to fundraise for Parkinson's UK. I've been away from running for a couple of years following a ruptured ACL and reconstruction surgery, so it won't be fast and it won't be pretty. But if I can raise some funds to support the fight against Parkinson's, it will be worth it. Thank you for your support ❤️
