Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Six years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s is a progressive degenerative condition for which there is currently no cure.
I’m taking part in Walkies for Parkinson’s to fund Parkinson's UK's groundbreaking research into better treatments and a cure. Mali and I will be walking 60 miles with many others during October to raise awareness of Parkinson’s and hopefully one day a cure can be found.
My updates
Finished 24/10. Loa’s 1st. B’day
Thursday 24th Oct On the 5th October I read about the Walkies for Parkinson’s and thought that Mali and I would enjoy the challenge. First walk was on Monday the 7th in London and today Thursday the 24th we’ve finished our 60 miles. But that’s not the only thing we are celebrating. 🥳 Today is our gorgeous granddaughter Loa’s first birthday. 🎂 Lots to celebrateDay 16. 23/10/24
Wednesday 23rd OctPenultimate day of walking I think. Just 5 miles to go. It was a beautiful morning looking over the loch from Burleigh sands. We started at Kirkgate Park walked alongside the loch to Burleigh Sand to Milnathort golf club and home.
It took us a long time to complete as we met so many people who wanted to chat and there were lots of questions about Mali’s bandana.

Day 15. 21/10/2024
Monday 21st Oct 51 miles completed. Storm Ashley hit Scotland yesterday and so we stayed warm and cozy in front of the television and safe from the high winds and torrential rain.Day 14
Saturday 19th OctSaturday the 19, Mali and I walked from Kirkgate Park, where she had a good chase game with her doggie pals, Teddy and Kenneth
Unfortunately the lead had to go on through as we walked through the woods and alongside the golf course and the Loch. Now the geese (thousands of them) are back in the area Mali can only think of one thing-sniffing and chasing geese!
Three miles logged today. 15 to go.

Thursday 17th OctDay 17/10
No walk yesterday as it was raining heavily. So made up for it today with an early morning walk with Mali, then a longer walk when friends joined us. Thank you Linds, Hazel and Helen for your company.
Total for the two walks is 5.36.
I don’t enjoy winter mornings, currently it’s dark until about 7.45 and it’s only October!
Day 12. 15/10/24
Tuesday 15th Oct Firstly I’d like to say Thank you to everyone who had made a donation. I am stunned how much support I’ve received, be it donations or friends keeping me company on my walks. Thank you so much. I will send individual thanks eventually.Day 11.
Monday 14th OctWrapping up warmly this morning as it’s -3 🥶
First a quick drive to Kirkgate Park for Mali to enjoy a run chasing her ball. Then as I was feeling fit walked the road towards Stronachie across towards Milnathort and home. A very satisfying 6 miles chipped off my target. Did stop in Heaven Scent in Milnathort for a cinnamon bun for my brunch. Thought I deserved it. 😘
Day 10 13/10/24
Monday 14th OctI’ve only just noticed that on the Parkinson’s website for the walk is a fundraising league table and thanks to our amazing friends and family I’m in second place on the list! Thank you so much. If you haven’t yet donated, then PLEASE do. Help fund the research into better treatments and a cure for the fastest growing neurological condition. 🙏🙏
I’m now back in Kinross and the walks continue.
Sunday was day 10 and Mali and I had a lovely walk with Huw, Hazel and Brian along the golf course to the Loch. Ticked off another 3 miles.
