Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Support My Charity Walk for Parkinson’s - Every Step Counts!
This October, I’m taking on a special challenge: 30-miles of sponsored dog walking to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s UK.
But for me, this walk isn’t just about raising money; it’s about building community. It’s my first event since helping to run the local Parkinson’s support group at Washington, West Sussex, and I’m hoping to get to know our incredible members while doing something positive.
Join Me for the Walk or for a cuppa after !
I’ll be walking every weekday from 12:15pm to 1:15pm throughout October, starting and finishing at the local café in Southwater Country Park, West Sussex. Whether you can join for a quick chat, have a cuppa or join in with some walking everyone is welcome. Bring your friends and family - let’s turn these walks into something joyful!
Why I’m Walking:
This cause is deeply personal to me, as my Grandpa, Dad, and now my Mum have all lived with Parkinson’s, and I’ve seen firsthand the struggles they’ve faced.
Together, we can make a real difference for those living with Parkinson’s. Thank you so much for your support!
Let’s walk, talk, eat cake and make strides against Parkinson’s.
Every day I will take pictures and update our dog walking adventure.

Day 30
Wednesday 30th OctUpdate
Tuesday 29th OctSorry for the quiet these past few days—we’ve been working hard to get Mum back on her feet. The timing of the help she needs has often overlapped with my lunch breaks, which I usually use for walks.
But tomorrow, I’ll definitely be out walking. It’s both my Dad’s birthday and the anniversary of his passing. I’ll be joined by one of my daughters, his sister, and Diana who puts people living with Parkinson’s through their paces with great workouts at the Washington group and many other places. My Dad would have loved her as he was keen to keep moving.
