Nothing like a scenic marathon to say hello to some of the amazing volunteers and supporters who are also supporting Parkinson’s Disease , Parkinson's UK. One thing we have learnt , there are so many different charities represented , so much support for all of them to do well , and the incredible London crowd all seem to have a relationship to one of them yet give you the biggest cheer also.

Fantastic opportunity to connect, chat, and learn about all the great work Retina UK do to help support people living with low vision and retina related blindness post race.

Retina Uk also have sponsored spots for London Marathon 2027, and they offer a fantastic service of a massage , meal, and even a shower post race . Was ever so grateful to enjoy some of that very much needed hospitality and felt the love ❤️

Welcome to TCS London Marathon marathon day .
First lesson , maybe arrive a few days earlier as sleep still difficult , let alone the usual u settled nervous sleep before race day, thus body battery already at an undesirably low level to start the day .
For anyone watching online or at the track , please keep an eye out for Ken that may or may look like a slow moving camel with all this gear !! More time on track more fuel needed . Eternally grateful for the support of Revvies Energy Strips to help us get to the start line today and hopefully get that energy burst to finish well (or finish the same day I start 🙂 ) .
Thanks to everyone who has been part of the story, asked questions , followed our stories as we try and also raise awareness for the impact of Parkinson’s Disease and the great work Fight Parkinson's offer Australians and the international community

This is big!
TCS London Marathon knows how to put on a runners expo ! 4 hours later we have meet some amazing people , incredible charities , and had the best time talking all things running and how different charities work and how the marathon is a critical source of fundraising fur so many .

Really lovely to meet Laura and Grace from Parkinson's UK, and yes they still have charity spots available for the Sydney marathon , get in touch !
The Salvation Army United Kingdom and Ireland Territory were great to share stories with on the role we share in forensic clients in prison. And the most important thing, everyone was so interested to learn about Fight Parkinson's and why I am running as Ken and promoting and doing my bit to raise awareness of the great work they do, and the role of OT.

Now we also need to get Davis Phinney Foundation talking to uk about your basics to PD book which sounds wonderful in the context of individual countries and culture that I heard about at a recent conference in Melbourne run by Fight Parkinson’s and the Uk are excited to join .

Connections, networking , and sharing the love help the world go round and all of us do a better job for the next person .

Congratulations to all runners that have made it this far and to all charities and charity runners who have raise millions of pounds , you guys are the real hero’s !!

And please remember if you haven’t liked yet please do, it’s our way to help grow their social media, general awareness, and public knowledge about the great work they do and the support they offer to families .

Revvies Energy Strips here we go , I’ve also had a wonderful chat to professional running coach Reid smith about race day strategy and maximising carbs on course , totally fascinating !

24 hours from now we will be at the starting gun 🙂
