My Dad

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Manchester Half Marathon 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK. 

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.

Please help by sponsoring me whatever you can.

Our Dad

Saturday 5th Sep

In October we’re running the Manchester half marathon to raise money for Parkinson’s UK — a cause that means an enormous amount to our family.


We’ve watched our dad suffer with Parkinson’s for the last 16 years and more recently our Uncle. We’ve seen first-hand the impact the condition can have, not just on the person living with it, but on their carers too.


We wanted to take on a challenge that would push us both, whilst raising money for a cause that is incredibly close to our hearts.

So, we’re going to put ourselves through 21.1 km, hopefully raise some money and do our small bit to support the brilliant work being done to improve life for people living with Parkinson’s and, ultimately, find a cure.

Every donation, big or small, means a lot to us. Thank you for supporting us — and for helping us turn a very long run into something worthwhile!
