Story
Every hour, 2 people in the UK are told they have Parkinson's. The estimated number of people diagnosed with Parkinson's in the UK is around 145,000. That's around 1 adult (ie people aged 18 or over) in every 350.
While the statistics are eye-opening, Parkinson's is something we know quite well due to a member of our family being diagnosed several years ago.
If through fundraising via a half-marathon, I'm able to raise even just a small amount of money towards the fantastic work of Parkinson's UK, a charity working hard to find a cure, I'll be over the moon.
Thank you for checking out my fundraising page - I appreciate all the support I can get as it all adds up to a fantastic cause that has, unfortunately, become rather close to home. Whether it's a donation or simply spreading the word, thank you ever so much.
