About my charity
:
Parkinson’s UK
Every hour, someone in the UK is told they have Parkinson’s. Because we’re here, no one has to face Parkinson’s alone.
We bring people with Parkinson’s, their carers and families together via our network of local groups, our website and free confidential helpline. Specialist nurses, our supporters and staff provide information and training on every aspect of Parkinson’s.
As the UK’s Parkinson’s support and research charity we’re leading the work to find a cure, and we’re closer than ever. We also campaign to change attitudes and demand better services.
Our work is totally dependent on donations. Help us to find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson’s.

| My personal message: |
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.Being the manager of the Parkinson's Disease Society Tissue Bank, I know how important it is for the Society to raise money to help find a cure for Parkinson's Disease. Many people agree to donate their brains to the Tissue Bank, so the least I can do is run a marathon (in pink) and for those of you not prepared to donate your brains you can help fight Parkinson's by sponsoring me. I am going to put a lot of effort in to my training with the aim of doing it in under 5 hours this time. No promises, but I am really going to try and be faster this time and will put in the work to make it happen! So please give generously. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Parkinson's Disease Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Well I did it!!!!!! In 4 hours 38 mins 4 secs, so it goes to show I did put the effort in and did it a whole 27 mins faster this time!! By the end, due to the sun, I was the same colour as my top and still am!
Many thanks for your support.
Kirstin
