Walk for Parkinson's: Sunderland 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m walking to help fund specialist Parkinson’s care to thousands more people who urgently need it.

As some of you know, my Grandma was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2014. That means for 12 years she’s suffered and fought against this horrific disease, with no cure and only one medication that caused the most horrific side effects. On the 12th of May 2026, my beautiful, incredible Grandmother passed away and if finally at peace, with no more debilitating symptoms, pain or struggles. It was the most heartbreaking moment I’ve experienced, but knowing she’s free brings so much comfort. I’m now making it my life’s mission to support Parkinson’s patients and hopefully one day we can get a cure or at least better help and care for those suffering with it. 
It starts here and it starts for you Grandma ❤️
