Martin Cook

Hackney Half Marathon 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I’m taking part in the Hackney Half Marathon on behalf of my wife Jude who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2008. Since then she has been dealing with the many physical, emotional and cognitive tribulations associated with the condition. 

I would really appreciate your support in order to help fund the research necessary to overcome the beast Parkinson's.

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

Thank you!

Thank you to my sponsors
