TCS London Marathon Sunday 2027

I'm running for my Dad

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the 2027 TCS London Marathon for Parkinson’s UK on Sunday 25 April and would really appreciate your support! 

Shortly after my beloved Dad passed away in 2024 I joined Parkinson's UK as Corporate Partnerships Manager to help ensure we get to our goal and support everyone like my Dad, with Parkinson's and ultimately find a cure. 

Dad had  previously had a Parkinson's Nurse who was so supportive and took as much time as needed to talk me through Dad's symptoms and medication control. However after he moved to a different county we lost the Nurse and he didn't have any further nursing care or support. 

Nurses are a lifeline for so many people living with Parkinson's and their families. We really struggled in the later stages of Dad's illness and getting end of life care for his Parkinson's was especially hard. He died in a hospital ward which wasn't equipped to deal with his complexities.

So not only am I working for Parkinson's UK, I am running for Parkinson's UK too. 

Parkinson’s UK is here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need. However we currently don't have enough Nurses to get to people like my Dad and some Nurses have a huge caseloads. Every pound you are able to donate will help get more Nurses and invest in research to stop Parkinson's. 

We campaign for better health and care, fund research into groundbreaking new treatments, and run life-changing support services.

Thank you so much for every single donation, it means so much x
