Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
From getting lured by free pastries at cafes post runs around London, I've decided to challenge myself with running the Landmark Half Marathon!
As you all may know, I studied Neuroscience and now analyse drugs for a living (not the recreational kind..). One consistent theme throughout is the lack of breakthroughs in Parkinson's Disease. Although 1 in 37 people will develop this debilitating condition, there are currently no disease modifying therapies to delay/stop progression.
Although I definitely do not have the influence to suddenly overturn the Parkinson's Disease research landscape, I believe every little helps. I think we all know someone who is suffering from a neurodegenerative disease and understand how heart breaking it is to see loved ones lose their quality of life.
So! Donate the coffee you were going to get tomorrow morning, donate the "savings" from that dress you got on sale (girl math), quite literally anything will make a difference!! Thank you very much
Go Sarah go!!
