Anyone can get Parkinson’s. It gets worse over time and there’s no cure. Yet. Funding research into the most promising treatments, we’re getting closer to a cure. Until then, we're improving life for people with Parkinson’s, and the people in their lives. Together we'll find a cure.

Story

This time last year I ran the 5km Race For Life for Cancer Research.

It went so well that Nikki - my running buddy - and I have ramped up our efforts and are having a crack at the Leeds Half Marathon...  we are fools and idiots indeed!

Much as we like running, we like it more when we can do some good with our efforts. So this year I'll be supporting the Parkinson's Disease Society.

Normally I'd run for a Cancer charity which is very close to my heart, but this year I have a couple of friends who are managing their Parkinson's with a huge amounts of courage and magical pills.  They never complain about it and I'm very proud to see how much they still find time to do things for others.  So (and since I have to pick just one charity on this website) this year I'll be running for them.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Parkinson's Disease Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank-you so much, anything you can give is really appreciated.
