Why I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK

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

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2018 when I was in my mid-forties, which came as quite a shock. I have a young family and  want to ensure I can be the best I can for them - it is a huge motivator. This challenge will test me physically but I want to do my bit to help raise funds to help others and to raise awareness that this isn’t a condition that’s exclusive to those of an older generation.
