Run for us

Katie and Lucy Sayer with their medals at the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2011

Our work is totally dependent on donations. Your support will help us find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson's.

All our runners will receive a welcome pack, breathable running vest and iron-on letters.

We'll support you through your training and fundraising, and be there on the day to cheer you on.

Our 2011 team included twins Lucy and Katie Sayer (pictured right). They ran in memory of their grandad who had Parkinson's.

The best thing about taking part in the run was all the support and cheering along the way we had from complete strangers.
