Why I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK
I’m taking part in Walk for Parkinson’s 100 Mile Challenge to help fund specialist care for people with Parkinson’s.
I'm uniting with thousands of others, all passionate about improving life for people with Parkinson’s.
As many of you will be aware I have had Parkinson's Disease for over 10 years. I have also had a total left hip replacement 8 weeks ago.
Its 2.42am. in the morning and because of my Parkinson's I don't sleep well. It also makes me do crazy things like signing to to this challenge.
So I was surfing the net and saw this challenge and as God has given me the ability to walk again thanks to the marvellous orthopaedic team I thought its time to give something back. What is the point of a brand new hip if i don't use it!!
Parkinson's UK have been very helpful to me, especially through. the work of the Parkinson's Specialist Nurses and I hope through taking part in this challenge more nurses will be available to help fellow suffers.
So if you feel so inclined, please donate and sponsor me

One Final Push
Tuesday 26th May Well we are coming to the last few days. I am up to 94 miles I think by the end of today and so 6 miles to go and 5 days to do it. Thank you all for your support I couldn’t have done it without your support. Andy Share
A Bit More Effort Pmease
Monday 18th May Well day 18 has come and gone and we are up to 65 miles done and 35 left to do so left to doing 13 days. So 2.7 miles each day. And the weather is supposed to be warming up.
Harder than I thought……..phew
Friday 15th May It all seemed so simple. Walk 3.3 miles each day and finish with a day I hand. So easy.
Temptation!!!!
Saturday 9th May Today I added 28 miles in an error. When I looked at my page it showed my total mileage as 58 miles rather than the true figure of 33 miles. Nobody will notice. Just a simple error. Go on leave it as it is. But if nobody else knows I will know. So edited and now correct but further left to go.
Ikea
Thursday 7th May Well a spontaneous trip to IKEA. I seemed to be wandering round for ages. May I request that any walking in IKEA counts as double. To add insult to injury the meatballs were half price if you had a friends and families card. I knew I had one electronically in my phone. No I could not well not until I had eaten my plant based meatballs. It was then decided that.there was a time limit for producing a valid e-card and I had exceeded the time limit 😠😠😠Yes you read it right. I had plant based meatballs. And very nice too.
It seemed like a good idea at 3am!
Monday 4th May S. So I was awake at 2an. Was thinking how blessed I am to be able to walk again after the brilliant efforts of my surgeon. I have been in pain for 2 years due to osteoarthritis of the hip. But now I’m pain free so dhst better way to celebrate walking than walking. I hope to do 100 miles in Ney for Parkinson’s AuK I will log my walks and if you feel able to donate I would be very grateful cThank you to my sponsors
