Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m running the Amsterdam Marathon on 18 Oct 26 to raise money for Parkinson's in memory of my beloved dad, Harishchandra V. Thakkar. ❤️

This cause is incredibly close to my heart, and I’d be so grateful for your support. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and help support people affected by Parkinson’s.

Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and encouragement. 🙏🏃‍♂️

Parkinson’s is a complex brain condition that has no cure and gets worse over time. It has more than 40 symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety. And Parkinson's is on the rise. Someone is diagnosed every 20 minutes in the UK today. By 2050, the number of people with Parkinson’s worldwide will double to 25 million.

Parkinson’s UK is the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.

From searching for a cure and campaigning for better health and care, to funding research into groundbreaking new treatments and running life-changing support services. It’s all driven by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.

That’s why I’m fundraising for Parkinson’s UK. 

Thank you to my sponsors
