I will be running the 2022 London Marathon in October to fundraise for Parkinson's UK. 

My grandad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease around 3 years ago and although he is still in relatively good health, he has deteriorated over the years. So much so that he was recently admitted into hospital as his immune system had worsened causing him to have multiple health problems. I also have a client of mine who was diagnosed with the same condition and over the years I have seen the struggles of battling with this disease. 

Having witnessed first hand the impact of Parkinson's and the way it effects each individual differently, I want to be able to raise as much money in order to help further research into the disease and to find a cure for it. 

This will be a huge challenge for me given that I have never ran more than 5km before starting training for this. I have a half marathon on 17th July and my aim is to try and raise as much money over the next 3 months. 

I would be grateful for any donations. 

Many thanks
