"The Virgin London Marathon was a great celebration of all that is good about humanity. I ran for Parkinson's UK with my cousin and her husband, as my uncle and a couple of members of my congregation have Parkinson's. If you ever have the opportunity to support or run in the marathon, you'll be part of a wonderful experience!"
Reverend Richard Curtis
Why fundraise for 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.
Why run for Parkinson's UK?
We wouldn't be here without amazing people like you. We are entirely funded by voluntary donations, and anything you raise in sponsorship will help us to continue our vital work. Every penny will make a difference to someone with Parkinson's.
We have a range of different running events covering all abilities and distances, from fun runs to marathons.
We will provide you with fundraising and training support every step of the way, as well as a breathable running vest – at larger races we'll also cheer you on race day -so join team Parkinson's UK today!
