Marrakech Half-Marathon · 28 January 2024

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

Hey there!

I'm thrilled to share with you my exciting journey as I lace up my running shoes for the very first time to take on the Marrakech Half-Marathon on January 28th. This adventure is not just about personal achievement; it's about making a positive impact on the lives of those affected by Parkinson's, and I invite you to join me in this meaningful endeavor.

Why Parkinson's UK?

I've chosen to dedicate my run to Parkinson's UK, a charity that tirelessly works towards improving the lives of individuals living with Parkinson's disease. This cause holds a special place in my heart, and I believe that together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by this challenging condition.

The Inspirational Legacy of Muhammad Ali:

Parkinson's disease is a battle that many, including the legendary Muhammad Ali, have faced. Ali, known as "The Greatest," not only conquered the boxing ring but also fought a courageous battle against Parkinson's later in life. His strength, resilience, and determination have inspired countless individuals around the world.

My Personal Journey:

As I embark on this journey, I find inspiration in Ali's legacy and the countless others who face the daily challenges of Parkinson's. While this may be my first-ever running event, I am fueled by the desire to make a positive impact on the lives of those who need our support.

How You Can Make a Difference:

I invite you to be a part of this journey by supporting Parkinson's UK through my JustGiving page. Your contribution, no matter the size, will go a long way in funding research, providing support services, and raising awareness about Parkinson's disease.

Together, Let's Conquer Marrakech:

Every step I take on the vibrant streets of Marrakech will be a testament to the collective strength of our community. With your support, we can contribute to a future where Parkinson's is better understood, treated, and, ultimately, cured.

Join me in this incredible journey by donating to my JustGiving page and spreading the word. Together, let's run towards a world without Parkinson's!

Thank you for being a part of this meaningful adventure.
