Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
I will be running my 4th half marathon in October, but this time it is a little different.
As I will be running for Parkinson's UK!
There are over 40 symptoms. Tremor. Pain. Anxiety. Everyone’s experience is different. And there’s no cure. Yet.
In 2022 my mum was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's, which has already had a big impact on her life and will continue to do so. But she has rough tremendously well so far and I know she always will to make sure it has as little impact as possible on her daily life.
To add to this, earlier this year her mother (my Nana) was also diagnosed with Parkinson's. So it's safe to say this disease has had a big Impact on my family.
It is for these reasons why I am running for Parkinson's UK as it is a Charity that has helped my family and has helped many others. I want to raise money so that we can raise more money so Parkinson's can continue it's excellent work, and help find a cure!
