Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Hackney Half Marathon for Parkinson’s UK and would really appreciate your support! 

I’ve run a half marathon before (and just about made it over the finish line), but I knew I wanted this time to be about more than what my finishing time was, or how many KMs I was running in the build up; I wanted it to be about something bigger than that. 

I have to say that every charity partner for the Hackney Half Marathon is extremely deserving of any donation you are able to give them, so maybe once you’ve read my page give some of the others a quick read as well. 

Parkinson’s currently affects around 153,000 people in the UK and is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. It impacts not only the people living with it, but also families, friends and carers who support them every day.

Running is something that brings me a huge amount of comfort and freedom, so being able to turn that into support for people living with Parkinson’s feels incredibly meaningful.

Your donation will help make the lives of those with Parkinson’s more comfortable both pre- and post-diagnosis. 

£18 could pay for a nurse to phone a person living with Parkinson’s following a recent medication change. 

£37 could go towards a digital imaging system which is used to capture and study images of brain tissue donations. 

£82 could fund the call handling technology for a day on Parkinson’s UK’s Helpline, meaning anyone who needs support can access it. 

Any donation, no matter how big or small, will make a HUGE difference.

Thank you! 🩵

p.s. please add whatever you like to my Hackney Half playlist I wish to be HIGHLY entertained during this event 🌻🪩🤠🌞 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/14qJZMA3kTU3UVjHZhZRxa?si=oMaCKWzxSIaqsbjzMZNNrgΠ=xuQl00kOT_-N3
