Parkinson DonationOn November 9, 2025
. I am reaching out to share something very personal and meaningful to me. I will be running the Manchester Half Marathon in memory of my husband, Mark, who recently passed away unexpectedly due to balance issues caused by Parkinson's disease. Please help me raise money for Parkinson's Research. Parkinson's affects 1.2 million people in the US today, and this number is expected to rise to 1.3 million in just five years. It is a debilitating disease that impacts not just those diagnosed but also their families and loved ones. My husband faced and fought many challenges due to this condition. I want to honor his memory by contributing to the fight against it. I have set a fundraising goal of $2000 for research advancements in treatment and care. Every contribution will help get us one step closer to a cure. If you can support the run and the cause, I would be incredibly grateful. Let's make strides for a better future.
