Individual UK Runs 2026

Please help me raise funds for Parkinsons UK

In May I started the Couch to 5K Challenge. I'm aiming to complete the challenge by the end of August 2026 to raise funds for Parkinsons UK.

I'm doing this because a family member was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. I want to do what I can to help support those living with Parkinson's and fund research towards better treatments and, one day, a cure.

Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition with no cure. It affects thousands of people across the UK, with someone being diagnosed every 20 minutes.

Parkinson's UK is dedicated to improving life for everyone affected by the condition through vital research, support services, and campaigning for better care.

If you're able to, I'd be incredibly grateful for any donation to help support their amazing work. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. 

Thank you for your support! 

Love Sarah x

Progress so far...

Sunday 2nd Aug
As a complete beginner I started the Couch to 5K running programme on my birthday 23rd May 2026. I have found the NHS running app really helpful and am making good progress. This week for the first time in the programme I am doing 25 minutes of continuous running which is a personal record for me! 

Thank you to my sponsors
