Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Parkinson’s is a complex brain condition that has no cure and gets worse over time. It has more than 40 symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety. And Parkinson's is on the rise. Someone is diagnosed every 20 minutes in the UK today. By 2050, the number of people with Parkinson’s worldwide will double to 25 million.

Parkinson’s UK is the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.

From searching for a cure and campaigning for better health and care, to funding research into groundbreaking new treatments and running life-changing support services. It’s all driven by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.

That’s why I’m fundraising for Parkinson’s UK.

Mick's Half Marathon Challenge

Monday 5th Jan
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in September 2023 but fortunately I was able to continue to run. Therefore I will be running in the Shakespeare Half Marathon in Stratford-Upon-Avon on Sunday 26th April 2026 and if you can please support me and Parkinson's uk. 

Many thanks
