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.
This July, I will be moving 25 minutes a day to help fund 25 more Parkinson's nurses.
Right now, thousands of people with Parkinson’s lack access to the health and care professionals they urgently need. That's why the Parkinson's UK Nurse Appeal aims to fund at least 25 Parkinson’s nurses. Just 25 more nurses could give 7,500 more people access to specialist care.
Please sponsor me on this challenge to raise £135 which will fund a nurse for half a day.

Saturday 25th Jul Started with a floor exercise to get my day going. 5 minutes later and I'm done and my day begins. I have packed in as much as the 'hot weather' day would allow me. 6479 steps and I have done a lot of cleaning today and to finish of added some gardening to my keep moving for a Parkinson's Nurse. Share
24th day and shame I didn't take pictures.s.
Friday 24th Jul I had my Parkinson's meet-up group. It was joyous!! I kept on moving, and really didn't stop, got others to do some dance moves. We sang, and talked and shared laughter, a very good afternoon. I returned home and after a couple of errands got on with weeding !!! Another top day of moving, I'd say. I was too busy doing to think of taking pictures or a video, sorry 😞. Oh! And, 6625 steps yay!! Share
23 days and 8 more to go!
Friday 24th Jul Started my day with two sets of floor exercises, as I was feeling particularly stiff; 7 and 10 minutes. This git me going off to a good start. I had work in the afternoon, and during this did a 20 plus minutes walk with client. I even got in 5 minutes of football, and I was in goal! I managed 7399 steps this day!!!
22 days in.
Wednesday 22nd Jul 22 days in. I have not been doing much in the way of activities these last few days but, I have been moving. Today, I managed 6103 steps. I think that is very OK.
Sunday, Monday happy days!!
Tuesday 21st Jul I keep on moving until I stop.....lol. Sunday and Monday update. 4972 steps on Sunday, a slowed down day. I visited my friend and walked those 98 steps again (it hasn't gotten any easier yet!). Monday I managed 6111 steps!! I went for a bike ride, played darts in my garden. Going backwards and forwards getting the darts, can easily increase your steps. I have of course been in the garden watering my plants. Don't scoff, watering the plants takes a lot of time and keeps you moving. Finally over these two days , I finished with skipping. I love skipping. I skipped until my heart almost burst; well I said almost 😀 Share
Friday and Saturday (17th&18th)
Saturday 18th Jul The weekend and I have had to incoporate what I could with my days. I have included more walking, so, that meant getting me out the car and using my legs more!!! All very good. So, more walking and using stairs instead of lifts ; walked up 98 steps in one hit!
Gardening today on 15th the before and after..
Thursday 16th Jul
Walking, walking and gardening.
Thursday 16th Jul Today, I did about a mile and a half walk. I dropped off my car to mechanics in Brockley and walked home to Forest Hill. I then walked back to collect car; 30 and 25 minutes each way. I thought I would do a bit extra, and mowed front gardenand swept up. It looks much better now. Plus 12037 steps today. Share
On the 14th July I....
Thursday 16th Jul I did a mixture of movements; I played darts, I skipped and walked. All was good fun , and yes, very warm work. I got in 7148 steps, and I know some were missed off....never mind.
