Why I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in Run 50/50 for Parkinson’s UK, running 50 miles in 50 days to support the Parkinson’s community.

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.

Fitwell says "Walking is strongly linked with developing mental fortitude, acting as a accessible, consistent practice that builds both physical resilience and mental toughness
. It serves as a tool for stress reduction, cognitive improvement, and emotional regulation."

Walk not Run

Friday 27th Feb
Sadly I won't be able run 50/50 as I have plantar fasciitis,  but I  will do my best to complete the challenge by walking a mile a day.

Fingers Crossed

Wednesday 4th Feb
I love these virtual challenges and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can complete this 50/50 challenge. I am suffering from Plantar Facisitis at  the moment and walking is very painful.  Even if it does cure itself I doubt I will be able to have enough time to train for running a mile a dzy for 50 days, so I may have to walk it.
