Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

I’m taking part in the Great North Run on 13 September 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK. 

My lovely mum was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's and I'm taking on this challenge to help Parkinson's UK support her and others living with this confusing, frustrating and difficult condition. 

Parkinson's UK is a fantastic charity that campaigns for better health and care, funds research into new treatments and offers life-changing support services. 

I last did the Great North Run in 2024 and despite the happy photo I felt quite broken afterwards and vowed never ever to do another half marathon!

But if it can help make a positive difference to other people's lives through Parkinson's UK then those long miles are absolutely worth it.

Please help by sponsoring my challenge. Any amount no matter how small would be gratefully appreciated. All money raised will help fund breakthroughs and help support the Parkinson's community. 

Thank you very much for your kind support and generosity.
