Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I'm taking part in Pedal Trossachs 2025 for Parkinson’s UK on Sunday 31 August, where I will be taking on the 100 mile route through the Trossachs and would appreciate your support!

Parkinson's is an incurable condition which is very close to our family, with my mum having suffered from the disease for over 30 years. Sadly my mum passed away on holiday last year, through complications brought on by Parkinson's. Both my mum and dad were very active in their local Parkinson's group, with my dad continuing to support and play a key role in their social and fundraising activities.

Please help by sponsoring my cycling challenge. All the money raised will go to Parkinson’s UK's work in support of their UK wide physical activity and exercise programmes with the aim of helping people with Parkinson's get active and stay active.
Thank you to my sponsors

From the lovely elderly couple parked at the lookout point near the top of one of the climbs. Got out of the car to ask if I was doing the cycle for Parkinson’s and the passed me a donation. Very touching.
