Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
I have chosen to take part in the Great South Run again this year so I can raise money and support Parkinson's UK. The last time I took part in this run it was just before I fell pregnant with my beautiful little boy. Since then I have taken a knock in physical health. Taking part in this run is to achieve two things; raising money for a very important charity and to prove to myself I can still complete this distance. Parkinsons affects so many people all over the world and so many people feel the effects; whether you are suffering from parkinsons yourself or watching someone you love learn to live with this disease. I have seen the effects it can have on someone and their life and want to do something to help support a positive change for all those diagnosed. If you can donate anything I am so grateful, even if its just a penny. It all adds up.I am looking forward to sharing my training journey with you all.

My Training
Sunday 30th Jun
I have been using the last couple of months to begin my training for the great south run. I have started slow and am gradually building up. Each month starting from May I have been signing up for Race At Your Own Pace. This is a site where you set your goal each month and gain a medal at the end to mark the achievement. May I set the goal of 10 miles throughout the month and achieved 11.24 miles and June I set a goal of 25 miles and achieved 33.2 miles (still waiting on medal). July I have set a goal of 35 miles and August 50 miles. This is a mixture of running and walking miles to help build up to the 10 miles in one hit that I will be completing in October.
Cannot wait to continue to share my progress
