Help me reach my goal of £750

My activity tracking

My target 100 miles

I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK 2026

Dear friends, 

I’m taking part in Walk for Parkinson’s 100 Mile Challenge to help fund specialist care for people with Parkinson’s.

This is my 3rd year adopting this challenge. Some of you have kindly, and generously, sponsored me in the past, welcome back. I am hoping to secure match funding for your donations up to £750, hence my sponsorship target.

My 'walking' target is 100 miles, could I exceed this again? My added personal challenge as I progress with my Parkinson's diagnosis.

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

THANK YOU. I share this with a VIRTUAL HUG.

My updates

6th May - Beautiful conditions and company

Wednesday 6th May
I wanted to keep the momentum going especially with the lovely walking conditions. Very fortunate with the range of good footpaths. 

All followed getting my winter COVID vaccination. Perfect distance and mixture of terrain. Another 6 miles recorded. Yeah!!!!!

Days 3, 4 and 5 - We have wonderful progress

Tuesday 5th May
The month has begun well  led by the walk to Bath in wonderful weather conditions. I started my challenge on Friday, 1st May 2026 with my 11 mile walk.

Saturday was the start of the long weekend and I too had an appointment but this was OK as I started the next morning by taking Indi, our son's labra doodle for a 4+ mile walk. She had an early snooze after!!!

Yesterday gave me the opportunity to explore Blaise Castle, Bristol, grounds with my son in law and children and Smudge. I had not realised the distance covered, over 4 miles again. It really was a wonderful morning in their company while achieving a good distance towards my challenge goal - 20 miles!!

Back to distance walking this morning - 5th May 2026. A really good distance covered over a range of terrains - 8.74 miles.....Wow, as it feels good too.

Overall:

Your sponsorship is KEY and I thank you for your generous your encouragement in this way.

Training complete - Ready to go!!!

Monday 27th Apr
Dear friends and sponsors,

I have had a busy final week of preparation, getting the 'old' limbs ready for the challenges in the coming month of May 2026. Some new pictures are included.

Looking forward to Friday, 1st May 2026 with the targets which I hope we will share for the benefit of Parkinson's UK.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

Final preparation leading to 1st May 2026

Thursday 9th Apr
Our Parkinson's Support Group met today. An opportunity  to update our visitors on my progress leading up to the 1st of May. Not long now.

Weather improves and my fitness reasonable. I plan a few more walks over the next few weeks, including a few hopefully on Anglesey. 

My sincere thanks for your encouraging sponsorship to date, you have achieved almost 50% of my overall goal. Wow!!!! 

Thank you again.
