Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
I will be running Sheffield Half Marathon in March 2026 to raise money for Parkinson’s UK. My grandfather has Parkinson’s and I have learnt and observed much since he was diagnosed. Parkinson’s UK offer extraordinary support, information and hope not just of those with Parkinson’s but also to those caring for individuals with Parkinson’s. Finding out about recent research, new treatments, inventive technology that could improve symptoms, as well as supportive communities, clubs (like walking football), associations and Parkinson’s specific exercise groups inspire me with the support they offer those diagnosed, as well as offering support for carers. Parkinson’s UK is also actively involved with research into the disease. They do an excellent job in so many ways so I’m running for Parkinson’s UK and for my Granddad.
