Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Parkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world, in the UK alone there are 153,000 people living with the symptoms and there is no cure - not yet. People living with this dreadful illness suffer chronic pain and stiffness, tremors, slowness of movement and problems with memory and thinking - this affects every aspect of life often leading to mental health problems including depression.

Parkinson’s has affected the very heart of my family which is why I decided that it is the charity that I would like to raise money for.

This year I am running the London marathon - I am not even beginning to kid myself that my time will be fast - but I will finish - I had to defer the place from last year due to injury - so its slow and steady for me this year. Then in June I am planning to do the 100Km ultra challenge in the hills of the Cotswolds - two marathons in two days … only this one is walking - there is no chance I could run those hills!!

So please - if you can - donate a little something to the pot - so that together we can try to find a cure for Parkinson’s.

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.
