Why I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
I'm celebrating the ten-year anniversary of my diagnosis with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) in a slightly unusual way: by taking part in a fitness challenge!
Ten years ago, or even five years ago, running a mile would have been unthinkable - there were periods where I couldn't have even walked a mile, and days where walking 10 metres felt like a marathon.
Now, I'm celebrating that I'm the fittest and healthiest I've ever been as an adult, and that I have a job I love and amazing colleagues I somehow talked into doing this with me.
This challenge is in aid of Parkinson's UK - which is where I work, but it's also a charity my family has also come to value a great deal over the years since my mum was diagnosed with Parkinson's, and later with the similar condition MSA.
If you’re able to sponsor me, I’d be so grateful. Every penny helps fund groundbreaking research and life-changing support for people living with Parkinson’s.
