Join in the fight against Parkinson’s Disease
I am excited to shared that I will on 26th April 2026, be running in the 2026 London Marathon in official support of Cure Parkinson’s (https://cureparkinsons.org.uk ) Charity.
This is a cause that is deeply personal to me. My Father, bravely battled Parkinson’s for over two decades. My Grandmother suffered with the disease and my Uncle Bill continues to battle on with Parkinson’s at over 90 years old !
A year ago I was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s. This did not come as a great surprise and it does little to define me or what happens in the future, given the treatments and strategies available to manage symptoms. What is important however, is to continue to focus, even more, on remaining fit, strong and healthy. Selfishly, therefore doing yet another marathon is an important part of that.
Cure Parkinson’s is the only organization in the United Kingdom dedicated to find a cure for Parkinson’s, one of the fastest growing neurological conditions in the world. Money raised is used to find ways to slow, stop and reverse the condition.
I am very passionate about raising money for Cure Parkinson’s for what should be obvious reasons and I would love your support. I can assure you I will suffer greatly both in training and on the day !
Every donation big or small makes a difference.
