Raising money for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
This Summer, I'm going to be running the 100km Race to the Stones in aid of Parkinson's UK. I've been meaning to run an ultramarathon before age, hip wear or anything else comes along and means I can't, so I've taken the plunge and signed up for this journey along the Ridgeway from Lewknor to Avebury.
Having lost my Dad to Parkinson's in 2016, this cause is very personal to me, and knowing his love of long walks and trails, I'm sure he would approve. Parkinson's UK provide support for people living with Parkinson's and fund research into treatments to help mitigate or cure the disease. As I've paid fully for my entry to the race, all your sponsorship will go to Parkinson's UK.

February - Getting going
Sunday 2nd Feb
Hence, despite signing up for fundraising at the end of 2024, it's only now, a month into 2025, that I'm feeling the confidence to begin circulating this page and raising money in earnest. Still many kg to lose and kilometres to add to my weekly total, but after a really bad non-specific dose of the quad-demic in December, I'm starting to feel stronger again, able to run the uphills better, and I can really believe that 100km (over two days, I'm not crazy) is achievable.
Thank you in advance for the sponsorship - it really helps with the motivation needed to get out in the cold, dark and mud!
