miles

My target 100 miles

I'm fundraising in memory of my much loved & much missed mum

I’m taking part in Walk for Parkinson’s 100 Mile Challenge to help fund specialist care for people with Parkinson’s as mum certainly benefited from it. 

I will be completing this challenge on what would have been mum's 87th birthday on 31st May 2025.
