Story

Hi, I’m Graham, and I’m taking on an extraordinary challenge throughout 2025 to support a cause that’s close to my heart. Over the next 12 months, I’ll be running 12 marathons — that’s one marathon every month — to raise vital funds for the Huntington’s Disease Association.

Huntington’s disease is a progressive, genetic condition that affects the brain’s ability to control movement, cognition, and emotions. It has a profound impact on individuals and families, and right now, there’s no known cure. The Huntington’s Disease Association works tirelessly to support those affected, fund research, and advocate for greater awareness.

This challenge is going to push me to my physical and mental limits. Running one marathon is tough enough, but 12 in 12 months will be a true test of resilience, discipline, and determination. I’m doing this because I believe that with every step I take, we’re one step closer to providing more support, hope, and understanding for those living with Huntington’s disease.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference. Your support will help fund essential services, raise awareness, and drive forward vital research. Knowing I have your backing will motivate me through every early morning run, every aching muscle, every bruised toe nail and every moment of doubt.

If you’re able to donate, I’d be incredibly grateful. If you can’t donate right now, you can still help by sharing this page with your friends, family, and the wider community on any of your social networks. Together, we can make a lasting impact for people affected by Huntington’s disease.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my page and for any support you can give. Let’s make every mile count!
