Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am training for my first marathon in my home town of Riga, in Latvia. This training requires me to steadily push myself further and further as I work towards the biggest run of my life. This is my personal challenge, but there is someone else with a bigger challenge than me. Someone who shares this challenge with thousands of others for whom it isn't a choice.

My father-in-law has Parkinson's disease. It's a cruel disease which slowly strips away all that a person once was. There is currently no cure and it affects everyone around that person too. I am running to raise money to help those who struggle, but also to work towards funding a cure. Please support me, and my father-in-law Nick as I run for me and for him.

Thanks for visiting my page, Lasma
