Helen Moore

Walk for Parkinson's: Sunderland 2026

Help me reach my goal of £600

Why we are fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page for Parkinson's UK.  We are doing two challenges to raise funds for this great charity.  

Between May and September, we are both taking part in a swimathon.  Each week, we will be counting up the lengths to swim at least 10,000m each (400 lengths), which is approximately 6 miles.  In September, we will also be taking part in a sponsored walk.  

We are swimming and walking for Dad, who is living with Parkinson's and in memory of Grandad and Uncle Chris, who also had the disease.

We are raising money to fund specialist Parkinson's nurses.   

Parkinson's nurses support people coming to terms with their Parkinson's diagnosis, help them to manage their medication and side effects, as well as make referrals to other medical professionals such as physiotherapists.

Thank you so much for your support.  Your gift will make a huge difference!

Love Helen and Mike xx

Tuesday 23rd Jun
Hello!
Thank you again for looking at our fundraising page.  You, yes you over there, are a superstar! Thank you for sponsoring us and helping us to raise money for Parkinsons UK.

A quick update to say that we were originally going to swim 5000m each for our swimathon but we have decided to double our target.  Crikey!

Mike and I will continue to count up our lengths every week with an aim to swim 10,000m each, which is approximately 6 miles.  

There has been a lot of weekly swimming since I last updated the page.   Mike swam another 52 lengths and I swam another 70 lengths.  Whoop whoop!

Swimathon update

Sunday 17th May
Mike has reached half way with 30 more lengths taking his total to 100 lengths (100 to go)
Another 20 for Helen with a total of 50 lengths so far. (150 to go)

I think we may need to increase our distance because we have until September to do this.  Maybe we can both swim 10,000m each?!
