Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m running the Manchester Marathon to raise money for Parkinson’s UK.

My mum was diagnosed with Parkinson’s some years ago, and Parkinson’s UK has been a really valuable source of support and community for her. They do brilliant work supporting people living with Parkinson’s and funding research into better treatments.

Any donation, big or small, would mean a lot. It will all help Parkinson’s UK continue their important work — and finally prove what a good son I am after the lifetime of stress I’ve probably caused my poor mum.
