Walk for Parkinson's: Essex 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.

Parkinson’s Walk 2026- For Mum

Saturday 18th Jul
As many of you know, mum passed away from Parkinson’s disease. I’ve always wanted to raise money for Parkinson’s UK, but mum felt so uncomfortable with her diagnosis, it was difficult to do events in her name. So I am now doing it, along with Erin and Isla, in her memory. Parkinson’s turned mums’ and our world upside down. Biggest struggle was engaging with healthcare professions when things didn’t seem to be right. As nurses ourselves, but me and mum we too were not very familiar with multitude of symptoms that fall under the Parkinson’s umbrella. I called upon Parkinson’s UK a couple of times for support and advice, but with any charity, they have to spread their resources far and wide as Parkinson’s disease is now affecting more and more people.Ā 
Walking was one of mums passions and sadly looking back, was also an early indicator that things weren’t right. So we are challenging ourselves to do this walk and will be taking mum along with us in our hearts šŸ’•Ā
