Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
I’m taking part in Walkies for Parkinson’s to fund Parkinson's UK's groundbreaking research into better treatments and a cure.
My Mum had Parkinson’s and it was heartbreaking to watch the strongest woman in my life - my inspiration- decline gradually into a frail shadow of her former self. She developed dementia as the condition progressed and became wheelchair-bound for the last two years of her life. I want to raise funds for Parkinson’s in her memory, she would have been 86 this year... Always loved and never forgotten.
There’s no cure for Parkinson’s. Yet.
I'm uniting with thousands of others, all passionate about improving life for people with Parkinson’s.

Monday 2nd Sep I have increased my fundraising target to £100. This, for me, is not about the “likes, loves or cares.” It’s about raising awareness and funds for a cause close to my family’s heart. ❤️ Many thanks again to all who have donated so far. xx ShareUpping the miles
Tuesday 20th Aug So, I felt that doing 30 miles for our Walkies in October fundraiser would be a walk in the park, please excuse the pun! I have now doubled it to 60 miles to make it more of a challenge. ShareGetting the practise in…
