Great North Run 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I’m taking part in the Great North Run on 13 September 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK. 

I’m running the Great North Run this year for my grandma, who is currently living with Parkinson’s. This run is a way to raise money while showing love and support for everyone who is affected by Parkinson’s. Any donations will be appreciated to raise awareness. 

Thank you!
