Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

This May, I’m running a half marathon to support Parkinson’s UK, a cause that is deeply personal to me. My grandpa, affectionately known as Boppy, had Parkinson’s, and I saw firsthand the impact it has. 

Parkinson’s UK funds vital research and provides essential support to people living with the condition. I’m running to honor Boppy and to help raise money for better treatments, better care, and ultimately, a cure. If I can turn 13.1 miles into even a small difference, it will be worth every step.
