We’re Parkinson’s UK. The charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.
 
We don’t wait for change, we make it happen. We believe that together we’ll find a cure. But that’s not all we’re working for. We campaign for better health and care, fund research into groundbreaking new treatments, and run life-changing support services.

Running the Manchester Half Marathon for Graham and Parkinson's UK

Saturday 16th May



In October, myself, my daughter Abigail, and my partner Paul are teaming up to run the Manchester Half Marathon in support of Parkinson's UK.
We are running in memory of Abigail’s grandad — a true gentleman — who recently passed away after a courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s is a cruel illness that affects not only the person diagnosed, but the whole family around them. Despite everything he faced, Graham remained kind, strong, and dignified throughout, and that is exactly how we will always remember him.
Taking on this challenge is our way of honouring his memory, recognising the strength shown by him and his family, and raising money for a cause that supports so many others facing the same journey.
Training for 13.1 miles will push us physically and mentally, but it is nothing compared to the battle people with Parkinson’s fight every day.
Any support — whether through a donation, sharing this page, or cheering us on — would mean so much to us.
Every contribution helps make a difference.
This run is for Graham💙
