13.1 miles of sweat for the woman who dealt with my toddler tantrums

Wednesday 18th Feb
As many of you already know, my Mum has Parkinson's. It's a tough, relentless condition that tries to steal a lot of things, but it hasn't managed to steal her zest for life.

Because she's a fighter, I've decided to do a bit of fighting myself - mostly fighting the urge to stop for a croissant at mile three. I'm running the Hackney Half for Parkinson's UK on 17 May 2026.

Why am I doing this?
1. For Mum: To support research that will hopefully one day make Parkinson's a thing of the past.
2. For tradition: Because yes, I am nearly 30 years old and within the cohort that find themselves not planning a wedding/ travelling/ buying a house/ [insert milestone here].
3. For the attention: Who doesn't want to be applauded/cheered by a crowd of strangers every 2 metres?!!?

If you have a spare few pounds to donate, it would mean the world to me and my family. Every penny goes toward helping people live well with Parkinson's and in the hopes that one day, we can live without it.

Thank you for the support, the cheers, and for not laughing so hard when you see me hobbling for the next few weeks.

Thank you to my sponsors
