Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival for Parkinson’s UK and would really appreciate your support! 

We all know someone who has Parkinson's and according to research it is going to get worse so we need to find a cure and find out how to prevent this incurable disease too.

Please help by sponsoring my challenge. All money raised will help fund breakthroughs and help support the Parkinson's community.

Best laid plans of mice and men

Tuesday 24th Feb
I took a week out to dive in Sharm El Sheikh with my son Scott and Daughter Toni. I did think that I might be able to train, as did Toni,  at the same time but i think I'm just nieve. I've realised that diving does take a lot out of you and it's not recommended to do intense running so soon after. 

I'm sore in places that shouldn't be! But it's for a great cause.
