Story
2025 will mark 20 years since our charity was founded by four people with Parkinson’s who felt that nobody was taking a cure seriously enough, including Tom Isaacs.
In 2002, Tom set off to walk the 4,500 mile coastline of Britain over the course a year, to raise the funds that would set up Cure Parkinson’s in 2005. Our mission would be to make people believe that a cure was not only possible, but achievable.
Since then, we have funded millions of pounds of research, made scientific discoveries and opened new avenues of research. Despite all this, we don’t yet have a cure in our hands, and so our goal remains unchanged: to consign Parkinson’s to medical history.
On this anniversary year and beyond, we will be more determined than ever to drive forward Tom’s vision. Not only are we launching and funding our biggest ever research projects in 2025, we’ll be walking to remember Tom and raising more funds than ever before to find a cure.
