Within three months, Elliot lost his grandmother to Parkinson's disease and his stepdad Martin to a sudden stroke, shortly followed by his father being diagnosed with Parkinson's. Having previously completed two half marathons, he decided to take on the 26.2-mile Manchester Marathon in April 2027. He is raising money for Brain Research UK to support research into conditions affecting the brain.
