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.

Old Man Running - Early Morning Training Run

Friday 23rd Oct
I went for an early morning run on Wednesday (21/10/26). I ran 9 miles in 1hr 38min, from Bryn Ednyfed campsite to Holyhead and back again,  with no issues. the pace was very easy and comfortable 🏃‍♂️‍➡️
The only issue was the weather - it was cold, wet and windy. I'm not used to running in these conditions after the summer we have just had.


Old Man Running - Total Fitness Gym Oldham

Friday 16th Oct
I had an indoor training session yesterday at Total Fitness Gym in Oldham. They kindly allowed me to use their facilities free of charge when I explained that I was running to raise money for Parkinson's research.
Ran on one of their running machines for 60 minutes at 7.5min/mile pace, which is much faster than I normally run on the road. 
Thanks for all of your help Marius and the Total Fitness team at Oldham 🏃‍♂️‍➡️👍
