Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
I’m raising money for Parkinson’s UK because my wife, Ruth has Parkinson’s and we hope that funds raised by sponsoring me will speed up research to find better treatments or a cure
I'm uniting with thousands of others, all passionate about improving life for people with Parkinson’s.

I'm very happy to support you. Mark had Parkinson's for 14 years and then related dementia from which he died several months ago. Support for those who develop parkinson's is so important. Thank you for helping make that more possible.
