Running Cardiff Half with Parkinson's - For My Dad.
This October, I’m taking on the Cardiff Half Marathon to support Parkinson’s UK — a cause that means a lot to me. My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 11 years ago, and I’ve seen firsthand the impact it’s had on his life and our family’s.
He continues to stay strong, and I couldn’t be a prouder daughter, therefore this run is for him and others fighting Parkinson’s.
Every donation, big or small, will go towards vital research and support services that can truly make a difference. I’d be so grateful for any support – whether it's a donation or cheering me on along the way. Let’s take a step closer to better treatments and, one day, a cure.
Thank you so much!
Emma :)

Hi Emma, this is very sweet of you, and such a demonstration of pure love. We haven’t met yet, but I was lucky enough to have worked with and became friends with your mother, and that’s how I became a fan of the Ashdowns :) i wish you and your lovely family all the best, especially to your father. Stay strong 💪🏼
