Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

I’m taking part in Walkies for Parkinson’s with Mya 🐾  We’re walking 90 miles in October to fundraise for Parkinson’s UK. Because Parkinson’s has been a huge part of my family’s story. My Granda Kell lived with the condition and faced many of the toughest symptoms – struggling with speech, swallowing and movement. My Granny Kell also heard the words “you’ve got Parkinson’s” after years of caring for him, and that brought fear to us all. My great uncle Matt and my grandfather-in-law John also lived with a form of Parkinsonism. For me it’s personal.


I’ve seen first-hand the difference that Parkinson’s Nurses, healthcare specialists, Parkinson’s UK helplines and local support groups make. They don’t just provide care – they give families hope, reassurance, and a reminder that they’re not facing this alone. That’s why I want to raise as much as I can, so thousands more people get that same support.


I also work for Parkinson’s UK, so I know how much incredible work is going into finding better treatments, driving forward research towards a cure, and helping people live well with Parkinson’s today. No one should have to fear the words “you have Parkinson’s”. Together, we can make that happen.


And here’s the deal: Mya only gets to wear her super-stylish Walkies bandana if we hit our sponsorship goal. So please give generously – for my family, for everyone living with Parkinson’s today, and (most importantly, if you ask Mya) for the bandana. 🐶💙
