Mousse & Maisie

We're walking for Parkinson's

Mousse and Maisie will be taking me out, aiming to clock up 60 miles throughout October (although I'm sure the dogs will beat me on that!), raising funds for Parkinson's UK.

There’s no cure for Parkinson’s. Yet.

Whilst we have a family connection to the cause, we're lucky enough not to have needed support from Parkinson's UK yet, but it's so reassuring to know the range of support and guidance they provide to people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones. 

Since joining the charity as an employee in July I have been blown away by the impact I've already seen and heard, and feel incredibly proud to work for a charity that takes such a principled and values-led approach to its vital work. 

Fundraising for Parkinson's UK means contributing to groundbreaking research into the causes, treatments and hopefully one day a cure. 

It also means contributing to a huge network of support, both emotional and practical, for people living with Parkinson's and their families. 

Embarking on a walking challenge might seem easy at first- but if you know my dogs, and the rate at which they manage to injure either themselves or me, it becomes somewhat of an extreme sport.
Aiming for 60 miles also means I can't cop out by standing at the park and throwing a ball... 

So we'll appreciate words of support, sharing my page, deliveries of treats and tennis balls, and of course any pennies you can contribute towards such an important cause.
