I am by no means a runner, but on the 7th of October 2018 I'll be doing my best to complete the Cardiff Half Marathon. 

I will be fundraising for Parkinson's UK. My Nanny has suffered from the disease for many years and as a result has little mobility, but is still as sharp as ever. One of her favourite things to do is stargaze and observe the planets from her patio door, which she requires help to get to.

Parkinson's is a neurological disorder and affects millions of people. The cause of Parkinson's is unknown and there is no cure, with medication only able to temporarily alleviate the symptoms. Having worked in the pharmaceutical industry for a year I am aware of the investment that goes into researching the disease, with the intent to improve patients' lives. It is a very worthy cause and will help the lives of so many people.

Any donations would be hugely appreciated (I'll let you know how the run goes!).
