Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Parkinson’s is a complex brain condition that has no cure and gets worse over time. It has more than 40 symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety. And Parkinson's is on the rise. Someone is diagnosed every 20 minutes in the UK today. By 2050, the number of people with Parkinson’s worldwide will double to 25 million.

Parkinson’s UK is the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.

From searching for a cure and campaigning for better health and care, to funding research into groundbreaking new treatments and running life-changing support services. It’s all driven by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.

That’s why I’m fundraising for Parkinson’s UK.

Paul 10k run for parkinsons

Monday 9th Mar
Hi everyone on the 10th of May paul is running in the bristol 10k for parkinsons uk. A few years ago paul was diagnosed with parkinsons . Since starting medication his parkinsons is at bay and he is able to return to running which he enjoyed before his diagnosis. Unfortunately there is currently no cure for it but we're not giving up on hope . There's one thing I can say about paul diagnosis he's a fighter and not letting him enjoy life . Even though this is just the start of his parkinsons stages in time it will make him worse. He's just like michael j fox and is inspired by him and his journey.  Help find a cure for parkinsons it will break my heart seeing him suffer and even now when he gets cramp and can't walk it upsets me and he keeps saying why me . I love him with or without parkinsons he's the same man I met back in 2016 and married in 2019 . Your never alone paul . 
Thank you
