Since being diagnosed with Parkinson's a year ago I have become aware of the numbers who get this diagnosis at a very early age. I am  84 and have had a good life already. I feel I have a duty to do everything within my power to help find a remedy for those afflicted at an early age.

It will be a real challenge, and I hope that, with your support, I will be able to complete the walk and raise some funds for Parkinsons UK.

The Calke Abbey walk offers a choice of two distances : 2.1 miles or 7 miles. Needless to say, I am aiming for the 2.1 mile version. At the moment that seems like a marathon to me,
