Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Ruth and I have discussed doing a long distance walk for a few years. recently we decided to walk the Camino Frances from St Jean Pied de Port in France to Santiago in Spain a total distance of almost 800 km. we will be starting our journey in late April and will arrive in santiago early June. this is a pilgrimage undertaken by thousands of people for the last thousand years finishing at the burial place of St James. We have decided to support Parkinsons as a close friend is a sufferer and it appears that the charity could move things forward significantly with an increase in donations. this is a potential life changing journey for us and we hope that you will consider supporting a very worthwhile charity.  Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
