Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m running a 10K in Edinburgh this May as my first step into running, inspired by my siblings and pops who are taking on the marathon. 

This is a first for me, and especially meaningful because I’m running to raise money for Parkinson’s UK. Our family have sadly lost both my nan and grandad to Parkinson’s, and taking part in this event is our way of honouring their memory while supporting others who are living with the disease. This run is a personal challenge for me and an opportunity to contribute, in a small way, to a cause that means so much to our family.

If you are able to donate or share my fundraiser it would mean the world!
