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

On 22 February, Chota and I are running the Leicestershire Half Marathon🏃🏼‍♀️

We’re raising money for Parkinson’s, in memory of my dad. He really loved running and spent so much of his time doing it while he still could.

I had never actually run till Chota persuaded me to start training two weeks ago! So this is very out of my comfort zone — but I’m under Chota’s (extremely harsh!!) training and surviving so far!

If you can donate or even just share, it would mean a lot. Thank you so much💙
