Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

13.1 miles, lots of training, and probably plenty of suffering ahead 😅

We’ve signed up for a half marathon to raise money for Parkinson’s research and support, inspired by my partner’s mum who lives with the condition.

I’ve never done a half marathon before, so this is going to be a huge challenge for us both — but it feels like a great opportunity to support a cause that means a lot to our family.

If you’d like to support the cause, we’d massively appreciate any donation or share ❤️

I did it! I still can't believe it, as there were multiple times when I was feeling really weak, but your support kept me going! Thank you so much, everyone, for helping me raise for Parkinson's!
