TCS London Marathon 2026

Why I'm running

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! 

I am running the marathon in memory of my Dad, who passed away in 2014. He had Parkinson's from a very young age but lived a fulfilling life for almost 30 years with the condition.  Running for Parkinson's makes the event really special to me!

I also really enjoy running, it's great for fitness and mental health. I would really like to finish in under 3 hours but how I feel and the weather on the day will dictate that!  

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.

Thank you to my sponsors

Good luck Gareth. Mum has been a great favourite at PUK branch meetings, bringing us her delicious jams, marmalades and chutneys. Let's hear it for the next generation of Hembroughs. Go Gareth!!
