Why I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK
I’m taking part in Move for Nurses to help fund specialist care for people with Parkinson’s.
Many people with Parkinson's don't have the support of a Parkinson's nurse. My partner has PD and we are fortunate to have a nurse who works locally, so we know how supportive this service can be. They can help with queries about medication and all the other services that support people with PD, such as physio and speech therapy.
I'm uniting with thousands of others this July, all passionate about improving life for people with Parkinson’s.
Any donation you can make will be most welcome.
My updates
So far so hot!
Sunday 12th Jul Difficult to keep up the challenge in the heat, but not so hard as it is for people with Parkinson's to deal with the heat. I'll be doing some lying down yoga in a cool room later. Thanks for the latest donations. I'm up to £154 plus gift aid (about £30) so on target for £270 for the month, hope we'll beat it. And every donation is being match funded. Share
Many thanks
Tuesday 30th Jun Many thanks to all those generous friends who have already donated via my page. The challenge starts tomorrow and we have already raised over £124 (plus gift aid) That's a fantastic start, and everything we raise here will be match funded by the Frank Brake Charitable Trust. Big thanks to you all. xx Share
Why this is important to me
Friday 19th Jun Helping to raise funds to support Parkinson's Nurses is really important to me. My partner has Parkinson's and we know how important it is to have a Parkinson's Nurse as part of our support network. Not everyone can access this brilliant service, we are very fortunate to have a great PD Nurse who we can contact with any queries about medication and all kinds of support services.
