Why am I fundraising for Parkinson's UK?

I’m taking part in Walkies for Parkinson's again this year to help fund specialist Parkinson’s care to thousands more people who urgently need it.

I was diagnosed with early Parkinson’s in 2019 which came as a shock and it took me a long time to come to terms with this.  I do my best to carry on as normal but I’m starting to slow down now and can’t do some of the things I loved like owning and riding my own horse

I need to be doing more exercise than I currently do and can clearly feel the benefits when I do.  I enjoy spin classes at Studiobelle and now have a bike at home.

This walk challenge will definitely help me with that. Mike Ellie and Fern all walked with me last year and were great supporters. Willow also joined us too.

If you want to join me on a walk let me know, Ruby and I would love to see you.  

We walked 60 miles last year and raised over £300 it would be great if I could raise that amount again this year. If you can help by donating any amount that would be amazing.

We will keep you updated on our progress.

Love Ruby and Dawn xx
