So...I'm running 13 miles, 13 actual miles on these little legs of mine. 

At this point you may be thinking "ARE YOU MAD!?" but no, I would have to disagree, you see I'm running/walking/crawling 13 miles to convince you to donate to Parkinson's UK and help me reach my humble target of a £500.

According to Parkinson's UK 120,000 people have Parkinson's in the UK, and 10,000 are diagnosed with Parkinson's every year – 500 of these will be aged under 40.

Any donations, no matter how small can make a huge difference. Just £2 will cover the cost of sending out a free copy of the Parkinson's UK DVD, 'Being There' to someone newly diagnosed with Parkinsons.

£12 could enable an Information and Support Worker to give expert advice on benefits to a person with Parkinson's

£25 could pay for a helpline nurse to take calls for an hour

£150 could fund a Parkinson's nurse for a day

£1,000 could fund a cutting edge research project into Parkinson's for a week

So donate what you can and I will see you at the finish line!

I will replace that awful picture of the shoes with my beautiful face soon!
