Walkies for Parkinson's 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m taking part in Walkies for Parkinson's to help fund specialist Parkinson’s care to make sure no one faces Parkinson’s alone.

Thousands of us are uniting to help people with Parkinson’s, and those who love and care for them, get access to the support they need.

Every hour, two people in the UK are told they have Parkinson’s. Because of your support, Parkinson’s UK will fund the right research into the most promising treatments, getting closer to a cure every day.

Thanks

Still one week to go before I officially start logging my miles for the challenge and I’m already not far off half way to my goal. 
A super big thank you to everyone who has already donated,   
Plenty of time yet for those who haven’t. 😘

Walkies for Parkinson’s

Tuesday 15th Sep
As most people know, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease on the 22nd of June 2018.
It was an incredible shock but with the support of the best family and friends it’s possible to have,  I’m still coping 8 years later. 
My main problem is my inability to walk distances. When I take my medication sometimes it doesn’t last very long and so I could be out in the middle of a long walk and all of a sudden my pills wear off unexpectedly and I have to wait 2 hours before the next dose. 
Two years ago, I did this challenge for the first time ( only 60 miles that time and I was very lucky to have some lovely friends to walk with me. In addition to Mali our  Cocker Spaniel. 
The challenge is called  
Walkies with  Parkinson’s and we will be walking 90 miles during October. 
Please be really generous and help me reach my target. 
Life can be tough when you have 
Parkinson’s.
