Nearly 30 years after running my last Half marathon I will be running the inaugural Bedford Half Marathon on Saturday 2nd September 2017 to raise money for both the Peterborough Parkinsons Group and Parkinsons UK.

Please help me raise as much as possible to help the good work done by both groups in supporting people with Parkinsons such as my lovely Dad pictured with me just before the 1988 Great North Run.

It's going to be a tough 13.2 miles but I'll be holding on to the thought of why I said I'd do this and why I'm determined to finish and raise as much as possible to help support people and their families with Parkinsons; and hopefully find more effective drugs, and maybe even a cure.

I hope you'll help me reach my target by giving whatever you can, every penny counts.

Thank you in advance.

Anita
