Why Abbie and Suzanne are fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Our lovely dad passed away just over two years ago as a result of complications linked to his Parkinson’s Disease.
Slowly this disease robbed him of the things he loved doing - especially walking and golfing.
Following our Mum’s stroke, Dad also took on the role of full time carer - not easy on an island with no care support. He devoted everything to caring for Mum in the island community they loved. This was a considerable task which he carried out with a determined pride and stoicism.
As his Parkinson’s progressed, every day must have felt like a marathon.
We run this race for Dad and to help support Parkinson’s UK in finding a cure.
