Parkinson's UK - Just Walk 2012 · 12 May 2012 ·

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year, I signed up for Just Walk and many generous people sponsored me to complete my 20 km over the South Downs in West Sussex. Unfortunately, I was laid low by the 'flu and a chest infection, which prevented me from participating in the event... but not from walking my 20 km of downs. I did the distance over similar terrain (closer to home) later in the year.

This year, I've had the 'flu jab. This year, I'm not going to be stopped. This year, I'm going to join in with everybody else and experience the organised event. This year, I'm going to find out how my version of the walk compares to the real thing...

If you are interested, I have a blog, Blogging with Parkinson's, in which I record my personal journey through this bizarre and frustrating condition - along with other relevant stuff that I come across along the way.
