Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am raising money for Parkinson's as it has a close personal link to me, being in memory of my lovely Grandad. Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition which involves the loss of nerve cells in the brain and so causing problems such as tremors, rigidity and and slowness of movement which can be incredibly challenging to live with. My Grandad suffered with this for a number of years and I can't say I remember a time when he wasn't battling with the hardships of this condition. He was always such an inspiration to me in his drive, ambition and positivity in life which was shown by how many people he made a substantial impact on. He always made me feel genuinely proud of everything I had achieved and was always so encouraging to me as someone who has always lacked self confidence. Notably, he was so special to my mum and made such a wonderful impact on her and she really struggled with the difficulties of seeing the effects of his Parkinson's and during the time since he passed away.
Therefore, I am determined to do this half marathon and raise significant funds for Parkinson's for my wonderful grandad, everyone who he had a special impact on and misses him dearly and for those currently struggling with Parkinson's Disease in order to try and contribute to enabling others to live a more comfortable life with Parkinson's with the help and support they need. I also help my fundraising can help to contribute towards critical research that can discover more about the condition and possibly one day find a cure.
Doing the half marathon this year is also a strong personal challenge for me as I enjoy keeping fit and playing sport but wanted a significant goal to work towards. This is my first half marathon and this cause means a lot to me so I would be so grateful for any support and donations. Thank you :)
