Melanie Ewings

Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2025

In memory of Patrick Ewings, our wonderful Dad

We are running, and raising money, in memory of our dear Dad who recently passed away, but lived with Parkinson’s for many years. We saw firsthand how devastating this disease can be for all involved. 

All the money raised will go to Parkinson’s UK to help them continue their work helping those with Parkinson’s and ultimately finding a cure. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit our page and for all your generous donations. 

Matt, Emily & Melanie
