Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
My beloved dad, who passed away in 1998, had Parkinson's and suffered so much in the final months and year of his life. His name was Mr Edward Rafferty, affectionately known by Ted by all who knew him. He was a D-Day veteran, a lifelong Liverpool football club supporter and just an all round really nice bloke. I still miss him.
So this charity is close to my heart but not only because of my dad but also in relation to the many others I know with family members/partners/friends with this debilitating and progressive neurological condition.
Please help by sponsoring me with whatever you can. The money raised will help fund groundbreaking research and change the lives of the Parkinson's community.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Chantal :-)
