Walk for Parkinson's 100 mile challenge 2026

Why I'm fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m taking part in Walk for Parkinson’s 100 Mile Challenge to help fund specialist care for people with Parkinson’s.

Parkinson’s is close to my heart because my grandad had it, and seeing what he went through made it feel very real to me. I was only 10 when he died, but I still remember how it slowly changed things for him day by day. It wasn’t just the physical side of the illness—it affected so much more, and even at that age I could sense how hard it was. Even so, he was still himself in so many ways, and that’s what stays with me the most. It made me realise how important it is to show patience, understanding, and just be there for someone. It’s something I’ll always carry with me because of him.
