Why I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK
I’m taking part in Move for Nurses to help fund specialist care for people with Parkinson’s.
This July, I will be moving 25 minutes a day to help fund 25 more Parkinson's nurses.
Right now, thousands of people with Parkinson’s lack access to the health and care professionals they urgently need. That's why the Parkinson's UK Nurse Appeal aims to fund at least 25 Parkinson’s nurses. Just 25 more nurses could give 7,500 more people access to specialist care.
Please sponsor me on this challenge to raise £135 which will fund a nurse for half a day.

On your mark, get set, Go!
Saturday 4th Jul· 1st July – first up road cycle on the gravel bike. Poynton Pootle used to be the easy option, but proved a bit tough today (probably on account of being tired after the 1.5 hours swimming last night).
· 2nd July – back to the English National Ballet class in Liverpool continuing the Body and Soul theme with lots of good company and chat.
· 3rd July – lovely exploration of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park with M&J. A great day out for all 4 grandparents.
· 4th July – Parkrun for Parkinson’s UK. Slower again, but still a lovely reminder of the Pools Runs at Alderley Park back in the day.
