Oxford Half Marathon 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Oxford Half Marathon for Parkinson’s UK. 

I am joining this community because Parkinson’s has touched  two of the most important people in my life. My best friend (Sally Oakey)was diagnosed five years ago, which gave me my first glimpse into this journey. Now, with my husband’s (Eric Lanyon) recent diagnosis, that journey has hit home. 

Please help by sponsoring my challenge. All money raised will help fund breakthroughs and help support the Parkinson's community.
