Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Manchester Half Marathon 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK. 

I’m running in memory of my amazing Grandma who, was an incredibly important part of every single one of her grandchildren’s lives, and who eventually we lost to this awful illness. Parkinson’s UK funds support for people living with Parkinson’s, and research into finding a cure 🩵 

About Parkinson’s UK: 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.

Please help by sponsoring me whatever you can.
