London Marathon 2018 · 22 April 2018 ·

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

The time has come for Hannah, Luke and myself to run together in a marathon for the first time. We are running the 2018 London marathon together on 22 April 2018. As the photos below show I got Hannah and Luke into running at an early age at the Woodbridge 10k race. We all went on to run marathons, myself in London and Cardiff  many times, and Hannah and Luke in New York. We managed to run the Royal Parks half marathon together 2 years ago but this year it is the main event - as all of us are running together in London!

This will be my second marathon since being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease just over 7 years ago and my 23rd in total.  For Hannah and Luke it will be their second. The reason we are doing it is to continue to raise funds for Parkinson's UK  to help them find a cure.

I also want to highlight and raise awareness that having Parkinsons does not mean that you have to stop living life to the full. 

Every penny helps so please donate as notwithstanding the family competition to help us focus we are doing this to raise money for Parkinson's UK.
