Why I'm running for Parkinson's UK

My uncle was diagnosed with Parkinson’s over 10 years ago, and as a family, we’ve seen firsthand how tough it can be, for him and his loved ones. Parkinson’s UK has been a great source of support, advice, and hope throughout.
I’m running my first (and only!!) marathon in London on 27th April, and the support I’ve already received is greatly appreciated by the entire family.
Please support me if you can. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference to those living with Parkinson’s.
Thank you.
