Why I’m fundraising

Friday 27th Feb
I’m back back back again - for the third installment. I’m running a marathon every year of my thirties (🤞or as long as my body allows), and each year I’ll be raising money for Parkinson’s UK. 

Ever since my mum was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, she has been unstoppable when it comes to exercise classes, socials, physio. She’s part of an amazing group, The Alex, who go on walks and play ping pong. I’d never have known how important these were without organisations like Parkinson’s UK- and also my mum, who’s always been a real bad ass when it comes to learning.


 So if you can spare a donation to support Parkinson’s UK, pop it over here :) knowledge, community + research is power ✌️

Thank you to my sponsors
