Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
This year I’m running the Brighton Marathon for a cause that means a great deal to me.
Parkinson’s affects more than people realise, and it’s something that has touched my family personally. Training for this marathon has pushed me further than I thought possible, but I’m motivated by knowing it’s for something bigger than myself.
I’m fundraising for Parkinson’s UK to support research and those living with Parkinson’s. Any support would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Brighton Marathon 2026 for Parkinson's UK! I'll be running the Brighton Marathon in April 2026 as part of Team Parkinson's to help us all reach a future without Parkinson's.
Please help me by sponsoring whatever you can towards my target. All money raised will go directly to funding Parkinson's UK.

Alright Frank, try not to embarrass the family too much out there. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a casual jog to the fridge. If you actually finish, I’ll be mildly impressed… emphasis on mildly. Good luck I suppose
