Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! 

I'm working towards my first Half Marathon in October to raise money for Parkinson's UK. Before starting my training, I'd never run further than 5k so I'm excited to be challenging myself. I'm increasingly grateful for the ability to move my body and push my limits, which is part of the reason that I'm so keen to support Parkinson's UK. The charity funds vital research into better treatments and a cure while providing understanding and practical help to people living with Parkinson's and those who care for them. I'm learning how much little and often adds up for my running progress, and so if you're able to donate even a small amount, I'd be really grateful for the support. 

All money raised will go towards funding the charity's essential research and community support. 

Thank you!!
