Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Your mum, son or friend. Anyone can get Parkinson’s, young or old. Every hour, two more people are diagnosed.
There are over 40 symptoms. Tremor. Pain. Anxiety. Everyone’s experience is different. And there’s no cure. Yet.
That’s why I’m taking part in the London to Brighton cycle for Parkinson’s UK. With your help we can fund better care, drive research breakthroughs and one day find a cure.
We are the Parkinson’s community. We can shape Parkinson’s research. We can transform lives. Together we can find a cure.

Thank you
Wednesday 17th Sep Thanks so much to everyone who sponsored! The day went really well and in true British weather fashion, despite having us worried we only got rained on for the last half hour! It was great to be part of 5,000 riders fundraising for so many great causes. £640 raised so far which is fantastic and will make a real difference to the work Parkinsons UK does! Thank you! Share
The plan.....
Thursday 17th Jul My first thoughts when I looked at doing L2B - 55 miles, that's not too bad? I am beginning to realise that was an optimistic thought! So why do it? In the UK someone is diagnosed with Parkinsons every 20 minutes and most people know someone impacted by the disease. For our family it's my Mum, who was diagnosed in her late 40s, a reminder that a diagnosis can come at any age. Its an illness that effects every part of daily life, but luckily Parkinsons UK are a vital support those with a diagnosis, providing direct support as well as research into new treatments and, maybe one day, a cure. That's why I am cycling to raise money for Parkinsons UK and I am very grateful for to everyone who is able to sponsor me 😀 ShareThank you to my sponsors
