TCS London Marathon Saturday 2027

I'm running for my Grandad!!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the 2027 TCS London Marathon for Parkinson’s UK on Saturday 24 April and would really appreciate your support! 

We’re Parkinson’s UK. The charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.
 
We don’t wait for change, we make it happen. We believe that together we’ll find a cure. But that’s not all we’re working for. We campaign for better health and care, fund research into groundbreaking new treatments, and run life-changing support services.
 
Families, volunteers, campaigners, fundraisers, scientists, health and care workers. We’re a powerful community united by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.

My updates

Back at it!

Saturday 15th Aug
Cannot believe how generous you all are!! To have hit over £1000 already is absolutely WILD! So I got off my backside, downloaded runna, donned my new £2.99 Aldi glasses and went back out there. It was tough and I could end the drought in Herts with my sweat levels but it helped knowing we've already raised a hell of a lot of money! Thank you!!!!!!

I'm in?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

Monday 3rd Aug
I cannot believe it!!!! That was one phone call I did not expect to receive, and I better get training! 

I'm so excited/nervous/terrified to start this journey, but ultimately I already feel an immense amount of pride that I get to run for my Grandad, to help enact real change to a disease that sadly took him from us. I cannot wait to talk about him constantly over the next year and to share his story and to hopefully help others too. 

I am NOT a natural runner, and those who know me will know that well. It's not going to be an easy journey but if you feel the same way then maybe I'll inspire you to get out and about too?!

Thank you to my sponsors
