I'm running my first ever marathon on 23rd April to help raise money for Parkinson's UK - an amazing charity dedicated to helping everyone affected by Parkinson's.

My wonderful Dad has Parkinson's (with Lewy Body Dementia). And while a much-wished-for cure is unlikely in his lifetime, the invaluable support and advice they provide to him (and us, his family), helps us to navigate our way through this heartbreaking condition and in turn help him to have a better quality of life.

So on behalf of my Dad, his wife, 3 children, 4 grandchildren, family, and friends, we thank you for any donation you're able to make. Plus, I personally thank you in advance for helping to inspire me to get through all 26.2 miles!!

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
