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! 

I have 2 uncles with Parkinson’s & will be thinking of them & I know they’ll get me through my first marathon.
