Woolsey brothers' marathon effort raises £1,700
TWO brothers from York have raised more than £1,700 for Parkinson’s UK by running the London Marathon.
Chris Woolsey, 34, and Tom Woolsey, 27, completed the 26.2 mile challenge in 4 hours and 43 minutes, on the last day of Parkinson’s Awareness Week.
Chris and Tom joined a 225 strong team of athletes who were running for the charity Parkinson’s UK. It hopes to raise over £315,000 from the event so it can continue with its vital research work to find a cure, and improve the lives of the 127,000 people in the UK who are living with Parkinson’s.
