Abbie's Dad, Paul, was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2012, but it hasn't stopped him living life to the full, running the Swindon Half Marathon to raise money for Parkinson's research in under 2.5 hours.

As well as being Abbie's Dad, Paul is a long standing family friend and a well known and much loved member of the local community.
