Great North Run 2026

Help me reach my goal of £350

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

As well as myself doing the great north run my dad is doing a 5k on the hour Every hour for 16 5ks the amount of time he spent in hospital xx this page is for both my dad doing this run and myself for the great north run 
We both miss him so much and this page is for everyone fighting parkinsons 





I am wanting to take on the Great North Run 2026 because it would mean more than a half marathon for me. I want to do it for my grandad, who lives everyday with Parkinson’s Disease. Watching someone you love slowly lose parts of themselves to this illness is heartbreaking . Watching his courage, strength and determination in the face of such a challenging condition has inspired me in ways I cannot fully explain.
This run will be my way of honouring him- to show he isn’t alone in that fight, and to raise awareness and support for everyone living with Parkinson’s Disease. Every mile I will run will be for him and the families who share a journey like this.
Crossing that finish line won’t just be about me achieving a goal; it’ll be about carrying my grandads spirit with me every step of the way and doing my part to make a difference and support everyone else who has to fight with this disease. Every mile will be for him
