Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Manchester Marathon for Parkinson’s UK and would really appreciate your support! 

Please help by sponsoring my challenge. All money raised will help fund breakthroughs and help support the Parkinson's community. 

Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition that leads to a reduction of dopamine in the brain. This causes movement problems and difficulty with balance and coordination. It is a condition that closely affects my immediate family, which is why I have decided to run the Manchester marathon. 

I'll be running alongside one of my best friends Callum who will no doubtedly drag me to the finish line. He has also selflessly agreed to run it for Parkinsons. So please donate to help us and others raise money so the charity can fund research into new treatments to help find a cure.

Yorkshire 10 mile

Tuesday 22nd Oct
A wet and windy Sunday morning running the Yorkshire 10 mile. Started quick and felt good the first 10-12km. My pace dropped towards the end but managed to hang on for the final few kms. 
Finished with a PB of 1:16:37 chip and strave time!
The first step towards the Manchester marathon complete

Thank you to my sponsors
