Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the great north run for parkinsons uk september 2012. This is a fantastic charity and a charity which has an important meaning in my own life! Parkinsons disease affects those not only diagnosed but their friends and families on a daily basis!

Parkinsons uk are researching to find a cause and cure for parkinsons disease as well as providing a service for information and support for sufferers and their families. Continuous fundraising is essential to keep the research and vital support going.

Every penny counts and your support is vital!

Your support can make an enormous difference to people affected by Parkinson's:

could pay for a helpline nurse to take calls for an hour

will enable us to run an education session in a hospital ward

will enable a half-day Parkinson's nurse-led clinic in the community

could fund a Parkinson's nurse for a day

could fund a cutting edge research project into Parkinson's for a week

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
