Walkies for Parkinson's 2025

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m taking part in Walkies for Parkinson's to help fund specialist Parkinson’s care to thousands more people who urgently need it.

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.

90 Miles for Dad – Walking for Parkinson’s UK

Thursday 14th Aug
On 15th August 2024, my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Less than three months later, on 3rd November, my world shattered when I found him at home after he had passed away.

Dad was my rock, my constant, my safe place in the storm. He had the best laugh, the warmest hugs, and the kindest heart. Losing him so soon after his diagnosis felt cruel beyond words. Parkinson’s stole the future we thought we had.

In his memory, I’m taking on Walkies for Parkinson’s UK — walking 90 miles alongside my two loyal companions, Loki and Thor. We’ll walk through rain, wind, and sunshine, because every step will be for him.

My goal is to raise £500 to help fund vital research, support those living with Parkinson’s, and bring hope to families like mine. Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world, and right now there’s no cure — but together, we can change that.

If you can, please donate. Whether it’s £1 or £50, every single pound brings us closer to a future without Parkinson’s. If you can’t donate, sharing this page means the world to me.

This walk is for you, Dad ❤️
Every mile, every step, every heartbeat.
