Great North Run 2026

I’m fundraising for Parkinson’s to celebrate the life of Bob Owston

My dear friend, Bob Owston, lost his life to Parkinson’s in 2025. And the doctor who saved my life as a child, John Williams, was a sufferer. There are so many reasons to raise money to support scientific research and treatments for an illness that touches the lives of so many people each year. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! 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 my challenge. All money raised will help fund breakthroughs and help support the Parkinson's community.
