Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Iām taking part in the Great North Run on 8 September 2024 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK.Ā
14 years ago, our dad was diagnosed with Parkinsonās. Weāve watched as his health has deteriorated as this terrible illness takes a tighter grip on him. However, he remains the man we all know him for. Always smiling, always laughing, always telling awful dad jokes! Most of all, always putting others before himself, and always trying to make someoneās day that little brighter.Ā
Heroes are everywhere. On television, in the movies, on stage. Our hero will be running by our side for 13.1 miles, and weāll be running by his.
If you can spare a penny or a pound, every dime of it will go towards vital research, vital help, and toward the fight to aid those battling this terrible disease.
Thank you. ā„ļø
