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 I have neer got into the LM, despite trying to get into it many times since the 1980s. I have missed a number of application dates, but I am still working on it, without success. I'm getting too old for marathons now, so running the LLHM will have to suffice. I am excited to run in London.
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!
Please help by sponsoring my challenge. All money raised will help fund Parkinson research and help the Parkinson community.
My updates
November rains
Monday 3rd Nov I see I need to let everyone know that I am actually out running in preparation for the LLHM! Well, I am....but the rain makes it less and less inviting, but I know that I will really have to get training before Christmas!
