TCS London Marathon 2026

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! 

We’re Parkinson’s UK. The charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.
 
We don’t wait for change, we make it happen. We believe that together we’ll find a cure. But that’s not all we’re working for. We campaign for better health and care, fund research into groundbreaking new treatments, and run life-changing support services.
 
Families, volunteers, campaigners, fundraisers, scientists, health and care workers. We’re a powerful community united by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.

My updates

London’s calling

Saturday 25th Apr
Brighton was amazing! Friends, family and strangers all supporting, encouraging and helping me to achieve a PB! 🎉😁Who would have thought it! 
2 weeks of carb loading and gentle exercise and now I’m on my way to collect my race number for tomorrow. Nerves are kicking and that’s ok. Let’s take each step at a time and see what tomorrow holds. What a privilege it is to be able to run and do hard things. Thank you for all the donations and words of encouragement and love. Very much appreciated! 

Stick a fork in me….

Tuesday 7th Apr
With niggles galore let’s see what can be achieved. Brighton Marathon this weekend and London 2 weeks after. Let’s run and enjoy. 
If you can spare the price of a coffee, tea, wine, beer, hot chocolate etc please donate to this wonderful charity and support those with Parkinson’s
Mum, this is for you. 💕
