Great North Run 2026

Great North Run 2026

On 13 September 2026, I’ll be taking on the Great North Run in support of Parkinson’s UK.

This charity has become especially important to me following my dad’s diagnosis in 2024. After running the Manchester Marathon in 2026, I wanted to keep the momentum going and continue raising money to support people living with Parkinson’s, as well as fund research and raise awareness.

Parkinson’s UK does incredible work, from supporting those living with the condition to funding vital research and campaigning for better care.

All money raised will go towards Parkinson’s UK nurses, who provide much-needed advice, support, and information to people living with Parkinson’s.

Any contribution, big or small, would mean so much - thank you for your support.
