Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the 2027 TCS London Marathon for Parkinson’s UK on Sunday 25 April and would really appreciate your support!
The profile picture is me and my best mate Jonny, taken far too long ago. We’re both now 47, have families and Jonny has just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. This diagnosis is going to have a massive impact on his life, family and his job as a physiotherapist. I’ve wanted to do the London Marathon for years. I’ve been applying for the last 16 years at least. By coincidence I got a place through the ballot this year and will be raising money for Parkinson’s UK to help Jonny and people in his position and their families. I want to make sure that neither Jonny, or his family will have their lives diminished by his diagnosis. Every donation will go to helping Jonny (and others) get the support and treatment to live as normal a life as possible. Please give what you can.
Thanks
Good luck Matthew! It’s a great thing you’re doing to support Jonny, and amazing you got in for next year! Have a great race 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
