Sydney Half Marathon in memory of my amazing Grandad

I'm raising money in loving memory of my Grandad and in aid of Parkinson's Disease Society of the United Kingdom, who helped my Grandad when he needed it.

Whenever I was in trouble, had a problem or was upset, my Grandad always took me for a walk. Whenever that walk was finished, I felt like all problems were solved. This time I didn't think a walk would cut it, so this one's for you Grandad.

My running journey has only just begun, so a half marathon is going to be a huge challenge for me, but I'm ready to show myself that I can do the hard things in life, with my Grandad looking down on me.

Every donation will help and I will be beyond grateful, however small. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause, that means so much to me.
