On October 13th, I'll be taking on the Manchester half marathon in the name of Parkinson's UK. This test of fitness pales in comparison to the challenges Parkinson's sufferers like my Dad bravely face on a daily basis, and my hope is to honour them by raising much needed funds.

There is currently no cure for Parkinson's, only means to alleviate the discomfort it brings, so raising money is vital to fund research and hopefully one day find a cure.

Here is the link to the charity page if you would like to know more about Parkinson's: https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/ Notable figures with Parkinson's include Billy Connolly, Ozzy Osbourne, Michael J. Fox, Neil Diamond and so many more.
