Why we're fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! We're taking part in Run 50/50 for Parkinson’s UK, running 50 miles in 50 days to support the Parkinson’s community.
Melanie was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2024, not long after her 40th birthday. Melanie is a hard-working single mum of 5 (3 under 12) and this diagnosis was a shock to the system for her and the whole family.
In the two years that have passed since then it is clear that there are still so many unknowns with this disease and how to treat it as it affect each person differently. Symptoms can change from one day to the next, come on fast or gradual and the medication is trial and error until you find what works and then you're never sure how long they will keep the symptoms at bay.
It's a lot to think and worry about!
Parkinson's UK do so many things for those affected by Parkinson's so if you’re able to sponsor us, we'd be so grateful.
Every penny helps fund ground-breaking research and life-changing support for people living with Parkinson’s.
