Anyone can get Parkinson’s. It gets worse over time and there’s no cure. Yet. Funding research into the most promising treatments, we’re getting closer to a cure. Until then, we're improving life for people with Parkinson’s, and the people in their lives. Together we'll find a cure.

Story

The Alternative Channel Swim

Dear All

I intend to swim 22 miles over the next few weeks in my local pool at a Virgin Active Gym. I realise this makes me a pale version of David Walliams but nonetheless I hope you'll dig deep in aid of a worthy charity  - Parkinson's Disease Society.

Parkinson's Disease affects 120,000 people in the UK and there is no cure. The charity funds research into the disease as well as other care and help functions for sufferers.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Parkinson's Disease Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Alex
