Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m walking for Parkinson’s in support of my incredible Grandpa, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s a few years ago.

His diagnosis has completely changed all of our lives, but through everything, he continues to amaze me. Every day, he fights to hold on to his independence, his personality, and the things that make him who he is - he still laughs through it all.

Since his diagnosis, it’s been my mission to be by his side as we learn to navigate this new way of life together, as a family. Keeping him active, helping him adapt to the challenges Parkinson’s brings, and, most importantly, making sure he continues to live life as fully as possible.

I’m taking on this walk for him, and for every other person and family whose lives have been changed by Parkinson’s. By raising money for Parkinson’s UK, I hope to support their vital work funding research into better treatments and a cure, while providing care and support to people living with Parkinson’s today.

Every mile I walk is for Grandpa Phil 🩵


Goal: 150 miles in October. Work day distance/steps won’t count - only dedicated adventures before or after work! (Some will include Phil himself!)
