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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After running many events separatly over the years, I am joining forces with my friend and colleague Alex Knight to raise money for Parkinson's research, by doing the Reading Endure 24 ultramarathon in June as a relay team.

The goal of the event is to complete as many laps of an 8 kilometer / 5 mile course as we can in 24 hours. Only one us can be on the course at any one time, and we aim to run at least 100km between us in 24 hours.

We hope you will feel moved to support this foolishness in a good cause. You can sponsor either of us individually, or as a team - either way it's combined into our team fundraising target of £1,000.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
