Walk for Parkinson's 100 mile challenge 2025

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

As you all know my lovely grandad suffered from Parkinson's disease and I want as many people that receive the diagnosis of Parkinson's to live their life as long as they can to the fullest. 


Grandad always kept himself fit, he was playing football, running (not just from nan if he had spent to long in the bookies) he had a labour intensive job and kept busy. 

To see the change in him to not be mobile and also the dementia that could not be treated due to the Parkinson's drugs was devastating to all of us. 

I am aware that this is not a massive challenge for some but to me it is, being the heaviest I've ever been to walk 100 miles in a month will push me. 

I'm uniting with thousands of others, all passionate about improving life for people with Parkinson’s.

A little behind schedule I got out today and did 6 miles! The dogs came too and I felt better for doing it. 
I'm a little achy now though ha! Only 94 miles to go 🙈
