2026 Manchester Marathon Raises Funds for Parkinson's Cure

Multiple events and initiatives are underway to support Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and research. The Adidas Manchester Marathon offers an opportunity for runners to raise funds for Cure Parkinson’s, providing support and resources for participants. In Stow-on-the-Wold, Beechwood Park is hosting a community outreach event in partnership with Parkinson's UK, featuring workshops, talks, and health provider sessions to inform and engage the public about support services. Research advancements continue with Dr. J. Timothy Greenamyre at the University of Pittsburgh, who focuses on the environmental and genetic causes of PD, contributing significantly to treatment developments. Additionally, a recent telehealth study demonstrated that video consultations for PD patients are feasible and effective, improving physical activity and sleep while saving travel time and costs. These efforts collectively highlight the ongoing commitment to improving the lives of those affected by Parkinson's through fundraising, community engagement, research, and healthcare innovation.
