Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
I'm running the Great North Run Half Marathon on 13 September 2026 to raise funds for Parkinson’s UK, a charity that’s become important to me and my family. In July this year, shortly after retiring, my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. It was a huge shock, but Parkinson’s UK has already made a real difference — he’s been attending their charity morning support sessions which have provided him with both guidance and comfort. I'm taking on this challenge to support the amazing work they do, and to help fund further research, care, and support for others affected. Any donation, big or small, would mean the world and 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.
Thank you :)!
Good luck!
