Hi,

My name is Ryan.. I will be running the Rob Burrow Leeds marathon this year.. I have never run a marathon before only a half marathon but decided to set myself a challenge for 2 amazing charities.

Firstly for Parkinson's UK, this is dedicated to a family member, who got diagnosed with Parkinson's back in 2021. This came as a shock to us as a family, I am hoping by helping fundraise for Parkinson's there will be a cure for this cruel disease in the on coming years.

Secondly for candle lighters, this is dedicated to two very special friends of mine that both for diagnosed with cancer this year. They are two of the lucky ones that have managed to kick cancers butt.. but not everyone is that lucky out there. There must be a cure and with the help of fundraising candle lighters can carry on helping family's and finding that cure.

Both these charities can help 3 very close people to me and hopefully many more in the future.

There isn't a way to split the money raised 50/50 for both charities so please can you try and help keeping the funds for each charity as close as possible when donating to your chosen one.

Thank you... lets do this!!
