Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Hi! 👋🏼
I’m fundraising as a group of 3 friends who are challenging ourselves to run the Hackney Half Marathon in 2026. 🏃♂️ 🏃🏽♀️ 🏃♂️
We’re lacing up our trainers not just for the challenge, but to support a cause close to our hearts. 🩵 Parkinson’s UK does incredible work funding research and supporting those affected by Parkinson’s, and we’d love your help in raising money to keep that going. 💫
In the UK, someone is diagnosed with Parkinson’s every 20 minutes — which means it’s likely that all of us know, or will one day know, someone affected by it. But this doesn’t have to be the case forever. By supporting campaigns like ours, you can help turn the tide in the fight against Parkinson’s! 💪
A little about me…
“Though I’m a big runner, I’ve always refused to go longer than a 10k, so signing up for 13.1 miles is a pretty big step up for me. I’m excited – and slightly terrified – but knowing it’s for Parkinson’s UK makes every mile worth it.”
