ROME MARATHON 2026
On 22nd March I will be attempting to drag myself around the Rome Marathon in memory of my wonderful, beloved grandfather Richie.
Richie lived with the horrid effects Parkinson's for many years with incredible strength. He was deeply loved by all of us and missed dearly.
Parkinson’s is a complex brain condition that has no cure and gets worse over time. It has more than 40 symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety. And Parkinson's is on the rise. Someone is diagnosed every 20 minutes in the UK today. By 2050, the number of people with Parkinson’s worldwide will double to 25 million.
Parkinson’s UK is the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.
From searching for a cure and campaigning for better health and care, to funding research into groundbreaking new treatments and running life-changing support services. It’s all driven by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.
That’s why I’m fundraising for Parkinson’s UK.
Thank you to my sponsors
