Story

I am challenging myself to walk at least 3 miles everyday in June and bake a cake everyday in June too. I will post pictures and recipes of the cakes and some of the walks too. I will try to get my kids involved too, at least they will be happy about the eating of the cake! I am doing this to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson's research at Sheffield. This is something very close to my heart, which I have dedicated the last 20 years of my working life to understanding Parkinson's and trying to help people with Parkinson's. Any donation will help accelerate Parkinson's research and enable real benefits to reach people with Parkinson's sooner.

Two more people are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease every hour, that's 18,000 people every year. Causing a huge loss of physical movement and uncontrollable tremors, the disease will affect 145,000 people in the UK alone in 2020. New treatments are needed to stop Parkinson's in its tracks.Your donations will support this important work, helping our researchers to lead the way in developing new treatments for Parkinson's Disease.
