Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m taking on the Hackney Half Marathon alongside my partner to raise money for Parkinson’s UK, a cause that means a great deal to me.

I’m dedicating this challenge to my grandma, who we sadly lost to Parkinson’s. Seeing what she went through, and how it affected our family. This run is a way for me to honour her and turn that experience into something positive.

I want to dedicate this run to everyone living with Parkinson’s today, and for the hope of a future where no family has to go through the same experience.

Your support and donations would truly mean so much — helping to make a real difference to those affected by Parkinson’s.

Thank you to my sponsors
