Margaret Parkin

Walk for Parkinson's: Yorkshire 2026

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m walking to help fund specialist Parkinson’s care to thousands more people who urgently need it.

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.

My updates

I did it!

Saturday 25th Jul
Well not just me. My daughter in law and a granddaughter walked with me.Ā  AndĀ  my son was on car parking duties too. It was an enjoyable and humbling experience. Many thanks to all my "backers" . You can still donate if you want to.Ā 

Getting there

Sunday 12th Jul
Not long to go now. Just updated my target. Thank you all my lovely friends and family who have donated already. Thanks waiting for those of you who have promised to donate. and if you don't fit those categories then there is still time for you to help me achieve my new target. Got £839 so far. Can we make it to £900 or even more. I am sure we can. xx

Going well

Wednesday 1st Jul
Looking forward to my walk. So many kind folks backing me. Ready to increase my target.Ā 

Payback time!

Saturday 30th May
Had a special birthday recently (born in 1941 - you do the maths) and decided to do my bit to pay back some of the care and treatment my son has received since he got diagnosed with Parkinson's, 11 years ago. I'll do the walking if you'll do the paying.

Thank you to my sponsors

Go Margaret! Steve’s dad suffered from Parkinson’s and our daughter carried out medical research trying to find a cure for this disease for over 10 years, so it’s quite close to our hearts. Lyn & Steve. X
