Today is world Parkinson’s Day.

As hard as it’s been to keep showing up since we lost Dad in February and start building fitness for Sydney Mara with Team Fox in August, he would want us to keep going for the ones who’ve lost their lives, the ones grieving, the ones fighting, the ones who’ve become carers and a world without this debilitating disease that stole our precious Philby from us. 🦊🧡

This one meant a lot to me, I’ve wanted to run the before in even really knew what the marathon was. What made it extra special was running for my dad who not only celebrated his birthday the day before the marathon but is lucky to still be with us after he developed life threatening complications and was admitted to critical care three weeks ago. The week we were due to leave Australia we were seriously looking into cancelling our trip to stay close to my family. Thankfully by the time we left dad’s condition was stable and he was in rehab preparing to go this week.

Unfortunately when I attended the pre marathon lunch I learned that what my dad has recently been through is not uncommon for people with Parkinson’s Disease. My dad was lucky and the Drs have said they can’t believe he’s still walking, let alone went to the gym the morning he was admitted to critical care. The man has some will power! Others are not as lucky.

To run NYCM for my dad and millions of others like him was my absolute honour. When I met Jase at the finish line I burst into tears in his arms. This was so much more than just a run to me.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far it means so much to me 🙏🏻 There is still time to donate if you would like to support the work of The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research this is the link https://give.michaeljfox.org/fundraiser/4564143

On the ground in NYC.

Little run around Central Park this morning to shake out the legs after the long flight. The sun might have been shining but it was icy 🥶

A nice little deload after last weekends 1/2marathon comes to an end. Back into it this week for the final few big weeks of the NYC Marathon build. Forever drawing on my dad’s strength when the mornings are dark, the kms are solo and training is hard. 💫

TCS London Marathon you were incredible!!!

16weeks ago when I was staring down the barrel of another stress reaction in my Tibia I wasn’t even sure I’d make the start line. To go out today and run for my dad was everything!

Fundraising for Parkinson's UK is still open, link in my bio if you’d like to contribute. 🙏🏻

Time to dust off this page and let you know that I am in London to run the London Marathon in partnership with Parkinson's UK. I wasn’t sure if I’d make this start line when some bone stress popped up 16weeks ago which is why I haven’t posted about it to date, but thanks to some very good people around me I’ve made it through the training and ready to celebrate and honour my dad with a lap around London.
