Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Manchester Half Marathon 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK. 

We’re Parkinson’s UK. The charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.
 
We don’t wait for change, we make it happen. We believe that together we’ll find a cure. But that’s not all we’re working for. We campaign for better health and care, fund research into groundbreaking new treatments, and run life-changing support services.
 
Families, volunteers, campaigners, fundraisers, scientists, health and care workers. We’re a powerful community united by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.

Please help by sponsoring me whatever you can.

Running For Parkinson’s in Memory of my Dad

Tuesday 28th Jul

Recently, I lost my dad after his long battle with Parkinson’s disease Watching someone you love live with Parkinson’s is heartbreaking. My dad faced his illness with courage, strength and determination, and I couldn’t be prouder of him.

My challenge to myself is to complete this half marathon in sub 1hr 58minutes and this will be for him, for the memories we shared, Me & my Daddy ❤️ and for the thousands of families who continue to face the challenges of Parkinson’s

I’m raising money to support research, improve care and help those living with Parkinson’s receive the support they need and to bring awareness to this awful disease. 

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, I would be incredibly grateful. If you can’t donate, simply sharing this page would mean the world to me.

Thank you for supporting me on this journey and for helping me honour my dad’s memory. ❤️
