Your fundraising page

Your fundraising page will be automatically set up when you register. Give it a personal touch and share it. And if you raise £250, we'll send you a Parkinson's UK cooler lunch bag 6 weeks after the walk!

This year we’re aiming to invest over £4M in our drug development programme, pushing to deliver life-changing new treatments in years not decades. Every pound you raise through Walk for Parkinson's directly fuels this work, powering the vital research needed to transform lives.

Last year our Sunderland walk raised an incredible:

£24,000

How we’ll support you

We’ll send you a welcome pack with fundraising guidance, tips and information.

We’ll also send you a Walk for Parkinson's T-shirt to wear on the day and to help promote your fundraising. If you have one from a previous year, you can let us know as you sign up by ticking 'no thanks' to the T-shirt size. When signing up each group member, please ensure you have their T-shirt size, date of birth, and a unique email address (required for every adult).

Our local community fundraiser organising the walk will be in touch after you’ve signed up.
