Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running the Great South Run for my beautiful mum who has been suffering with the degenerative Parkinsons disease for over 10 years. It is incredibly debilitating for her and has dramatically impacted the quality of her life in every way. 

Despite the illness, my mum is one of the most upbeat positive people I know, still holding down a full time job and living life to the full, she is such a strong woman and a HUGE inspiration to me.

Currently their isn't a cure for the disease, and as it progresses and the neurons continue to be lost, the drugs currently used eventually become ineffective at treating the symptoms, making life even more of a challenge than it already is. 

I am hoping to raise as much money as I can for her and Parkinsons UK research, if you can spare a few pennies I would be so grateful. It would be fab to even make a slight dent in this worthy cause.
