Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Hi Friends, as most of you are aware Martin was diagnosed with Parkinson in September 2014. Every sufferer of Parkinson has a different journey, we have been lucky but the illness is slowly taking its toll on everyday life. As I have more time on my hands I am going to walk 600 miles before 12th December in aid of Parkinson's UK. This may help me understand how Martin feels. Every day Martin puts up with stiffness in his muscles and aches and pains, extreme tiredness at times during the day & takes him ages to get comfortable before he can fall asleep at night It takes away freedom, unable to eat an hour before and a hour after tablets which he takes 4 times a day at 3 hour intervals . Often snoozing during the day, if he over does it or even has a big meal he sweats and feels sick Parkinson's UK support everyone affected by this terrible illness and are also funding groundbreaking research into better treatment and a cure. Sadly there is no cure at present. Please either join me on a walk or sponsor me to help people like Martin.

Day 9
Thursday 10th Oct Martin woke up extremely tired today, luckily we can afford to stay in London another night as he would not been able to travel. We walked to a Austrlian run cafe/restaurant for a leisurely late breakfast, delicious. Stroll back then Martin rested most of the day whilst I, you guessed it walked to Brockwell Lido., 5 miles away. Kept Martin updated on my journey to prevent him getting too anxious. We went for an early evening Turkish meal & he went to bed on our return. Share
