March 1st - start of the Worldwide Walking Challenge 600miles in 6 months

Today we start our 600miles in 6 months worldwide walking challenge! Where will we get to? Check our fundraising pages for updates of progress and locations! The only sure thing is we will be at Baltic Square, Gateshead on 31 August walking for Parkinsons!

Why we are fundraising for Parkinson's UK

We're taking part in Walk for Parkinson’s and plan to walk 600miles in the 6 months before the walk at Baltic Square on 31st August.

We all have different reasons for walking. But if we walk together, we can make a difference to the lives of people with Parkinson’s.

We can make breakthroughs. We can find a cure.

Thank you to our sponsors
