Running for Helen – Running for Change
This year, I’m lacing up my running shoes and taking on the Hackney Half Marathon for Parkinson’s UK—a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart. I’m doing this in honour of my dear friend Helen Finnis, who lives with Parkinson’s.
Every step I take is for Helen and the millions affected by this condition. Your support can make a real difference—helping to fund vital research, drive breakthroughs, and provide life-changing support for the Parkinson’s community.
If you can, please sponsor my challenge—whether it’s the price of a coffee or a post-run pint, every donation counts! Let’s do something amazing together.
Thank you so much for your support!
Thank you to my sponsors
