Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Walking for Parkinson’s – A Personal Journey
After 40 years of dedicated work, I am stepping into a new chapter—retirement. But this transition is not just about looking ahead; it’s also about taking action for a cause close to my heart.
I have lived with Parkinson’s for over 11 years, and while it has brought challenges, it has also deepened my appreciation for resilience, community, and the power of determination. This August, as I mark my retirement, I am also taking on another journey—raising funds for Parkinson’s research and support. It’s my first time doing something like this, and I hope to make a meaningful impact.
Every step I take is not just about my own journey but about everyone affected by Parkinson’s—patients, families, and the incredible teams working toward better treatments. If you’d like to support or walk alongside me, I’d be truly grateful.
Together, we can make a difference—one step at a time.
