Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! 

This Mothering Sunday, I’ll be running the Liverpool Half Marathon in memory of my mum — a woman who loved a challenge — while raising money for Parkinson’s UK.  Many of you know my Dad was diagnosed with PD earlier last year.  

After developing chronic peroneal tendonitis from an ankle injury last November, I had to put aside my dream of running a full marathon. It’s been a tough setback, but I’m determined to take on this new challenge in her honour.

If you’re able to, please consider sponsoring me and supporting the vital work of Parkinson’s UK. Every donation, big or small, helps to make a difference. A huge thanks to friends and family who have already donated.

If you would like to track my progress on the day, download the TDL Event Services App from your play store and search for my name or bib number.

After developing chronic peroneal tendonitis from an ankle injury last November, I had to put aside my dream of running a full marathon. It’s been a tough setback at a time when I needed nothing more than to run, but I’m determined to take on this new challenge in her honour.

Friday 3rd Oct
A week on Saturday I am running my first ever 10k race the Everton 10k with Run Through.  Then on Mother's Day next March I will bring attempting the Liverpool Half Marathon in preparation for the Manchester Marathon.  I'm already finding it tough with the dark mornings and loss of evening light but I have a body torch so there is stopping me other than my injuries 🫣 but I continue to through the pain.
