Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
With just over two weeks to go, I’ve finally accepted that I’m more likely than not to make it up to Edinburgh and around the marathon so I had better get fundraising!Edinburgh ticked two important boxes to be my biennial marathon effort: it’s the city where my Dad was born and it will be a year to the week since we lost him.
Parkinson’s UK provide invaluable support for the people and families affected by the disease. In the earlier stages of Dad’s illness, my parents served on the committee of the Shrewsbury branch of this charity and both witnessed and benefitted from the important work that they do. We’re raising funds to ensure that other families affected by Parkinson’s receive the care and support they need.
It’s not my first marathon and most of you know that I normally run a bit anyway, but those 26.2 miles are never a walk in the park! I’d be very grateful for any contribution you can make to the cause.

Oh and also...
Friday 8th May In case the marathon on its own wasn't enough, I'm running the Green Belt relay for Thames the weekend before too. I should hit ~45 miles of racing* over 8 days.*'Racing' might be putting it strongly... Share
