Great North Run 2025

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Great North Run on 7 September 2025 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK. 

Please help by sponsoring me whatever you can. All the money raised will go to Parkinson’s UK nurses, to provide much-needed advice, support and information for people who are living with the condition.

why I'm running for Parkinsons UK

Thursday 30th Jan
I'm running the GNR this year in support of Parkinsons UK and a friend who was diagnosed with early onset recently. This amazing charity works towards helping people live with the condition and give them hope to a better future living with it.
