I'm fundraising in my Dad's memory
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the TCS 2026 London Marathon for Parkinson’s UK and would really appreciate your support!
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.
My updates
Here we go again!
Thursday 5th Mar So, having said my 2025 London Marathon experience would be my first and last marathon.. here I am again! I continued to run last year, once recovered from the marathon, and ended up doing a 10km, the Great South run (10 miles) and a couple of half marathons, so I thought it might be interesting to run another marathon and see how I get on, at the same time as raising a few more pennies for the Parkinson's UK charity. My lovely Dad suffered from Parkinson's and I would like to help raise funds for research and support for those impacted.I have been following a training plan since January and it is going relatively well with my body holding up mostly (right knee niggle is back). Definitely not going to be winning the race ;-) , but I hope to improve on my 5 hours and 10 minutes from last year.
I also have a couple of half marathons booked in over the next few weeks so I will get some decent practise sessions in. Wish me luck!
