Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK.  

My Nan suffered with Parkinson’s which is an awful disease and seeing someone you love change because of it it’s awful. I want to raise as much as can in her memory and to help those who are fighting this disease. If you want to donate feel free no pressure at all❤️
