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.

I wanted to set myself a challenge and to raise much-needed funds for Parkinson’s UK.  Every little helps!  Last year I wrote a poem a day throughout the month of April, never having written a poem before in my life!  This year I had to up the ante so I am endeavouring to write a poem every single day during 2022… that’s 365 poems!!  That has to be worth a pound or two, surely?  Although last years challenge has unleashed a passion for prose, this will be far from easy. Wish me luck.  As a person with Parkinson’s myself, I know how vital all donations from fundraising are to research and making a difference.  I will have to find somewhere accessible to store the poems if they are too long for the daily updates on this page, or maybe that’s a good enough reason to keep them short?! If it becomes necessary I will add the link to the daily updates.
