Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m walking to help fund specialist Parkinson’s care to thousands more people who urgently need it.

I was diagnosed with PD in 2017 and still remain active, much helped by initiatives supported by Parkinson’s UK locally and nationally. These include free membership of Everyone Active gyms which also provide a specialised weekly exercise class, and participation in Sunderland Walking Football group at the Beacon of Light.

Thousands of us are uniting to help people with Parkinson’s, and those who love and care for them, get access to the support they need.
