Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
2026 Nurse Campaign
I walked to help fund specialist Parkinsonās nursing care to thousands more people who urgently need it.
I have seen the devastating impact of this neurological disorder and wanted to help those who need care and support.
There is no cure.
Currently there are:
* around 166,000 with the condition in the UK
* predicted rise to 173,000 in the UK by 2030
* approximately 28,000 people in the UK areĀ Ā
Ā Ā diagnosed each year - that's 1 person every 20

Thousands of us are uniting in sponsored events to help people with Parkinsonās, and those who love and care for them, get access to the support they need.
All donations go direct to Parkinson's UK via this page. Please gift aid if you are eligible for this.
The Frank Brake Charitable Trust will also match donations to the campaign target of Ā£150,000.
Thank you for any donation you can make. It will make a positive difference to the Parkinson's community.
