ASICS Manchester Half Marathon 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Manchester Half Marathon 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK. 

We’re Parkinson’s UK. The charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.
 
We don’t wait for change, we make it happen. We believe that together we’ll find a cure. But that’s not all we’re working for. We campaign for better health and care, fund research into groundbreaking new treatments, and run life-changing support services.
 
Families, volunteers, campaigners, fundraisers, scientists, health and care workers. We’re a powerful community united by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.

Please help by sponsoring me whatever you can.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to Parkinsons. Greatly appreciated! 

I finished the half in 01:53:37. I couldn't have done it without everyone's support. Thank you

I saw your sign at the bus stop. I was supposed to go to Manchester today to cheer on my partner who is running, but instead I’m heading home to the US to go to my cousin’s funeral who passed away from complications with Parkinson’s. Thank you for running for a good cause. Best of luck tomorrow!
