Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the Great North Run on 13 September 2026 to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK.
The GNR has always been something I have wanted to do but never quite found the motivation to do it. However, after being diagnosed with Parkinson's in May 2025 and advised by my consultant to exercise I thought there is no better time than now.
I have fond memories of being at the finish line of the very first GNR cheering the runners on and in 2026 it will be amazing to be on the receiving end for this iconic race.
Please help by sponsoring me whatever you can. All the money raised will go to Parkinson’s UK nurses, to provide much-needed advice, support and information for people who are living with the condition.
