Brighton Marathon 2026

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Brighton Marathon 2026 for Parkinson's UK! I'll be running the Brighton Marathon in April 2026 as part of Team Parkinson's to help us all reach a future without Parkinson's.

Please help me by sponsoring whatever you can towards my target. All money raised will go directly to funding Parkinson's UK.

About Parkinson's UK

We’re close to major breakthroughs. Funding the right research into the most promising treatments, we get closer to a cure every day.

Until then, we're here for everyone affected by Parkinson’s. Fighting for fair treatment and better services. 

People with Parkinson’s, scientists and supporters, fundraisers and families, carers and clinicians, all working side by side. Impatient for change, we’re taking a stand, speaking out, chipping in, and playing our part.

After Sam and me both failed again in our attempts to get in to the London Marathon via either the general ballot (1 in 20 chance) and the ballot for a running club place (1 in 6 chance) we decided to go for the Charity route, in Brighton.
We'll both be running for Parkinson's UK - a cause which is close to us as Mum has the disease. 
It'll be Sam's first marathon and my 10th. But my first since becoming a full-time athlete (aka retired). 
Looking forward to the training!
