Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Hi everyone,I am running the Scottish Half in August to help raise funds and awareness for Parkinson's UK: an amazing charity that helps fund research, run support services and campaign for better care for those with Parkinson's.
Parkinson's has been a big part of my life with 2 of my grandparents (Papidou and Dadi) suffering from the condition for many years.
Spending time with them showed me how debilitating Parkinons's can be and the range of challenges they face on a daily basis. That being said it also highlighted amazing parts of the care for people with the condition. The medication are absolutely life changing and having the right support enabled them to continue enjoying aspects of their lives for many years despite the condition.
Through the fundraiser - hopefully I can contribute to ongoing research and help fund support services for patient's living with Parkinon's. Thank you!
Super idee 👍 go for it … enjoy and take care
