London Landmarks Half Marathon 2026

My activity tracking

47
miles

My target 11 miles

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK. I sadly lost my Granny to Parkinsons. I would really like to raise as much money as possible for this very worthy charity. To help people living with this disease now & in the future.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Parkinson’s UK and would really appreciate your support! 

Please help by sponsoring my challenge. All money raised will help fund breakthroughs and help support the Parkinson's community.

Today was my last long run.

Lee & I covered over 10 miles (although my fitness tracker didn't record the 1st mile 🙄)

We went from Iffley to Oxford City centre, Hinksey, Iffley Village, Rose Hill, Littlemore & Cowley, quite a journey down memory lane!

Feeling ready & excited for the big day!

Didn't quite reach the 10 mile but added 1 mile so pleased with that.

This time Lee joined me, he is running in Sarah's place and she was definitely with us along the route, a little Robin appeared several times.

Team Blue 💙 & Team Pink 🩷 are feeling excited for the big day. 3 weeks to go!

Stepped the training up to 8 miles. With just over a month to go I am determined to increase the distance each time I train. 

The sun shone, it was lovely to get out in my new running shoes 👟 

5 mile run

Sunday 11th Jan
Training took a backseat towards the end of last year, but I am back on it. Today's run/jog/walk was tough, but the distance is creeping up. I know Sarah is behind me every step of the way 🩷
Sunday 20th Jul
Just shy of 6k. Another slow & steady jog/walk on a very humid Sunday.

Thank you again to everyone who has sponsered me x

Training has started!

Sunday 18th May
Today my half marathon training started, it was quite tough in the heat but I managed a 5k run/walk with a time of 40 minutes (hoping to shave that down to 5mins per kilometre)

Next run will be at least 6k.

Thank you SO much for your generous donations xx
