Walkies for Parkinson's 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Parkinson's UK and local Parkinson's groups have a big connect and support for my family, with my wonderful dad, Jon, being diagnosed over 16 years ago.  The charity has been a huge support to him and my mum.  They always speak so highly of the Parkinson's support from his Parkinson nurse and the charity are raising money to ensure ongoing training and recruitment for these invaluable colleagues and support network.  This is one of the reasons I’m taking part in Walkies for Parkinson's to help fund specialist Parkinson’s care and on-going training to make sure no one faces Parkinson’s alone.

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.

Maeve's update

Wednesday 7th Oct
Mum is so impressed with how much we have raised so far this month that she got me a Parkinson's bandana to wear.. Not sure it's really me and at some point I will catch it on a bush, but for now here is wearing it with pride! A nicer walk tonight unlike the rain this morning.
Thank you to everyone that has sponsored us so far.
