My Story…
I am running the Falmouth Road Race with the Parkinson's Champions team in memory of my grandad Diarmuid McGuinness. He loved to run and had ran many marathons in his life. My grandad passed away this January after living with Parkinson's disease. I am taking part in this race to honor his memory by doing something he loved, while also raising awareness, supporting others with Parkinson's and contributing to research for a cure.
Description
I'm ready to run.
I'm running to raise funds and awareness with the Parkinson's Champions. I'm challenging myself to run the marathon to support the Parkinson’s Foundation.
The Parkinson's Foundation makes life better for people living with Parkinson's disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. Studies show that 2.5 hours of weekly exercise along with medication, can significantly improve quality of life for people living with Parkinson's. We run and will continue to run for people with Parkinson's because this disease not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Every dollar counts, thank you for your support!
