Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m taking part in Walkies for Parkinson’s to fund Parkinson's UK's groundbreaking research into better treatments and a cure.

There’s no cure for Parkinson’s. Yet.

I'm uniting with thousands of others, all passionate about improving life for people with Parkinson’s.

Walkies for Parkinsons!

Thursday 3rd Oct
I haven't done something like this before, so bare with me. This month, I'm doing Walkies for Parkinson's. I know we are a couple days in to the month, but I've just come across the cause and there's no time like the present, and I think this is a great opportunity to really do something good. For those that don't know, my mum was diagnosed with vascular Parkinson's a few years ago. It's really changed her life making simple tasks like getting in and out of the shower very difficult, forced to drink through a straw as she can't hold a glass still to her mouth, eating with utensils is difficult as she often shakes the food off her cutlery. Getting around on her feet is harder than ever as her balance is virtually non existent. It is a condition that really turns your life upside down, and it can happen to anyone. So this is a call to action. Either go get your dog, or a friend's, or neighbours dog and sign up, get walking for Parkinson's this month and raise some money for a good cause. OR If you've got a couple quid kicking about, donate via my link as I tackle 60 miles this month for Parkinson's Research. Half of your Netflix subscription or Spotify subscription you pay each month is all I ask, or the price of a pumpkin spiced latte. If you can't afford it, don't panic. Share this, give me some reach to hopefully reach someone who can donate. All proceeds go straight to Parkinson's UK and will help fund research into this disease which directly affects hundreds of thousands of people in the UK.

Thank you to my sponsors
