Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the TCS 2026 London Marathon for Parkinson’s UK and would really appreciate your support! 

I worked on a film about Parkinson and it opened my eyes to the struggles and the obstacles that a family goes through. It’s an illness that I didn’t know much about it.

I realised that my friend’s partner was diagnosed with Young-on set Parkinson.

Her family always inspires me to better, to have more grace, more diligent, more pacient, to be better in every way. They are a blessing to me and this is the least I could do to honour them.

Running a marathon takes a lot of training, patience and love but nothing compared to what a person goes through with Parkinson. They are my heroes and I hope this brings a little bit more awareness.

 Parkinson UK doesn’t wait for change, they 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.
 
They have one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.

Thank you to my sponsors
