Beth Lawson-Wood

Great North Run 2026

5 years ago, I had to say goodbye to my favourite person in the world, my Grandy!

Parkinson’s started as a slight shake in his hand and eventually, sadly took over him completely.

Every year since, I’ve done something in my life that I know he would be proud of and in 2026 it will be to run a half marathon. I have never run anything like this before so it’s a huge challenge but 1 that I am 100% committed to completing. 

I’m taking part in the Great North Run on 13 September 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK. 

Please help by sponsoring me whatever you can. All the money raised will go to Parkinson’s UK nurses, to provide much-needed advice, support and information for people who are living with the condition.
