Why I am running the marathon

Thursday 19th Feb
The last marathon I did was horrible, everything hurt and I cried at the finish line, I swore I would only do another if it was London. By some miracle I got in on the ballot and I've been putting miles on my creaking knees and managing my Achilles tendonitis to get in shape. So it's only right that I fund raise for Parkinson's UK with my London Marathon run. 

I am Fundraising for Parkinson's UK, a charity close to me. A year ago we lost my dad to Parkinson's, a disease he suffered from for over 10 years. The affect that it had on him was gradual, however the last couple years were particularly difficult for everyone. It was unfair how Mum (his wife of 50years), friends, neighbours, his carers myself and my sister all saw how it took away what made him my dad. Ever since his diagnosis I've been a regular monthly donator to Parkinson's UK charity.

If you could spare a tenner, a fiver or even a couple quid I would be grateful.
As Michael J Fox says in 'Shrinking'.... Fuck Parkinson's!
