Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

As many people know, our lovely Gran passed away in October 2019. 

She was an amazing person, bursting with personality and love for her grandchildren, chocolate and Coronation Street. She really was my best friend and shaped me into the person I am today. 

I was very lucky to have been blessed with her by my side all of my childhood and into adulthood too. However, sadly, she alongside my grandad suffered a long, tedious battle against Parkinson’s Disease for most of my life. Parkinson’s  stripped her of independence and sadly stopped her from enjoying retirement and life as a grandparent to the fullest. 

Parkinson’s Disease has had a profound impact on our family and I hope that in running at the end of September I can raise a little to give back to Parkinson’s UK in honour of our lovely Grandparents. 

Any donations would be greatly appreciated whatever the amount! 


Thank you so much!

Rachael, Your Gran would be bursting with pride at this gesture. You were the love of her life and it makes me so proud that you’d do this for her and your lovely Grandpa. Their lives were tainted by this awful condition but you brought them joy, every day. They loved you so much. ❤️
