So, here we go.

After watching a friend run the marathon this year, we felt inspired to do exactly half as much as he did.

In 1995 my Dad was diagnosed with Parkinsons - since then he has also lost a leg (entirely unrelated!) so life is a bit of a struggle for him to say the least!

I want to raise as much as possible to help families like ours, cope with Parkinsons (sufferers and friends / family too) and hopefully at some point in the future, find a cure.

I'm running with my wife and a couple of friends, but expect to be firmly lagging at the back hopefully finishing in under 2 1/4 hrs - as long as I finish I don't really care!
