Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
In September 2027, I’ll be taking on the Great North Run and raising money for Parkinson’s UK — a charity that is very close to my heart.
My dad has been living with Parkinson’s for several years, so I’ve seen first-hand the impact the condition can have, not just on the person living with it but on the whole family. I’m incredibly grateful for the treatments and support that have helped him along the way, but I also know how much more there is still to learn about Parkinson’s.
That’s why I want to do something positive for Dad, while helping other people and families facing the same challenges. By raising money for Parkinson’s UK, I hope I can make my small contribution towards research into better treatments and, ultimately, a future where Parkinson’s doesn’t have the impact it does today.
Running a half marathon is going to be a huge challenge for me, but having Dad as my reason for doing it will make every mile mean that little bit more.
If you’re able to sponsor me, however much, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every donation will help fund vital research and support people living with Parkinson’s and their families.
Thank you so much for supporting me. 💙
