Why we are fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Taking on a Challenge for a Cause Close to Our Hearts 💙
Sometimes life gives us a reason to do something that little bit bigger than ourselves, and for us, this is one of those times.
Three years ago, Amy's mum was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Since then, we've seen first-hand the challenges that come with living with a progressive neurological condition, not just for the person diagnosed but for their family and loved ones too.
Jemma also works within the NHS Neurology Department, where she sees on a daily basis the struggles that patients face, the impact neurological conditions can have on everyday life and the importance of support, research and raising awareness.
With both of these experiences close to our hearts, we wanted to find a way to make a difference.
We love a challenge, so we thought… why not put ourselves to the test, step outside our comfort zones and raise some money for a cause that means so much to us at the same time?
That's where our challenge comes in! The London Landmarks Half Marathon!!
We're hoping to raise as much money as possible to support Parkinson's and help make a difference to those living with the condition and the families who support them.
How can you help?
Your support won't just help us take on this challenge; it will help shine a light on Parkinson's and support a cause that is very close to home.
If you would like to sponsor us or help spread the word, we'd be incredibly grateful.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for supporting us on this journey.
