Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the 2027 TCS London Marathon for Parkinson’s UK on Saturday 24 April and would really appreciate your support!

This is a huge challenge for me being my first marathon and I couldn’t think of a more meaningful cause to run for.

I’m running for Parkinson’s UK because this cause is close to my family’s heart. My grandad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when he was just 38 years old. Over the years, the disease slowly took over his life. His journey has shown me just how devastating Parkinson’s can be. 

Every mile I run will be in his memory and for everyone living with Parkinson’s today.


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.
