London Landmarks Half Marathon on April 12, 2026 in honour of my then-husband, Richard Cooper who ran the London MARATHON in 1982.
He passed away from Parkinson Disease 10 years ago and despite trying to get into the London Marathon since the 1980s. I have missed a number of application dates, but I am still working on it, without success. Running the LLHM will have to suffice and your sponsorship will make this possible.
I know you know that I can do it, but I'm not getting any younger and 2026 will be the year!
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Please support Parkinson Research by ordering LLHM beanies and donating into my fund raising account. I am running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Parkinson's UK. How to order is in a later post, below.
I would really appreciate your support! I really NEED your support!
Please help by sponsoring my challenge. All money raised will help fund breakthroughs and help the Parkinson's community.

Seeking your support
Monday 29th Sep Each week I complete a beanie for Parkinson's UK support, but I am not getting the orders I need.
BEANIES FOR SALE
Wednesday 17th SepTabitha’s BEANIE FUND RAISER.
It’s complicated! I am a Brit living in Washington state, USA and am raising funds for Parkinson’s UK so that I can run the London Landmarks Half Marathon as a part of the Parkinson UK Team, on April 12, 2026. I am knitting beanies for adults in acrylic yarn, machine washable, as shown below. Beanies cost $16.00 (£12) each, or as much as you wish to give over, plus mailing costs.
Beanie Options: You can see them above. #1- Parkinson’s UK; #2 - LLHM P (Parkinson’s UK logo) 2026; #3 - Run 4 PD. Beanies #1 and #2 are specifically for the UK market, and #3 is for USA and the UK. Large sized beanie: $18 (£13:50). Special orders with alternative words/names and or colours: $20 (£15), if they are feasible. I have a small supply of knitted beanies and I will take orders, first come, first served. I take about a week to knit a beanie.
How to Order: Email me at TabithaAbel@yahoo.com or PM me with your mailing address and order: style and number of beanies. I will answer questions and let you know where you are in line for your order. I will notify you when I mail the package, along with your mailing cost. Please PAY WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR ORDER.
PAYING FOR THE BEANIE(S): pay as a donation with your credit card into my Parkinson UK fund-raising site at: events.parkinsons.org.uk/fundraisers/tabithaabel. Parkinson UK takes donations in sterling (£) ONLY so be careful to calculate the dollar amount into sterling. You may like to calculate the equivalent in real time by going to a “dollar to pounds” site online.
PAYING POSTAGE/MAILING COST: Please pay postage into my Paypal account at TabithaAbel@yahoo.com. Mailing within USA is around $11 for up to five beanies depending on the distance from Washington state. Mailing to England from USA is around £16.50 ($22) for 1-5 beanies, and for 6 - 10 beanies it is around £24 ($32).
If you prefer to make one, single payment for the beanie(s) and the postage together, please send it to ME via Paypal, and I will deposit the payment for the beanie(s) into my LLHM fund-raising site, and keep the mailing cost for the postage.
I realize that this is complicated, so please try to follow along, or email me for clarification and I will try to sort it out with you. I really appreciate you ordering beanies from me and helping me to raise funds for Parkinson’s UK, so that I can run the LLHM Half Marathon on the Parkinson’s UK Team. Thank you.
