11 years ago almost to the day , John my husband was diagnosed with Parkinsons , he gave up running until last November when he joined Bridge 4 gym in Birstall with a determination to get fitter and run again. Thanks to the support of the physios and trainers and other members of the gym, today he ran the Leicester half marathon in exactly 2hours. The biggest thanks has to go to our family for all the encouragement and support especially Jon Durrands his running partner and son in law . Sadly through injury Kat Jenny my daughter couldn’t take part today - next time Kat ! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃🏃🏃🏃
