Back in 2011 out of the blue my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's.

At the time it was devastating news and we didn't know what the future held. 

Although he has coped really well with the condition I want to get stuck in, support a charity close to my heart that needs more awareness and more importantly raise some funding towards the efforts to find a cure for this condition.

I have put a target of £500 which would be amazing but any donation would be amazing and I'd like to raise as much as I can!

One person is diagnosed with the condition every hour so you can see the importance of helping his charity.

Also I'm no professional cyclist but my boyfriend Tom has bought me a new bike so I've got to do it now!!!! ;)

We are Parkinson's UK. Powered by people. Funded by you. Improving life for everyone affected by Parkinson’s. Together we'll find a cure.

Your mum, son or friend. Anyone can get Parkinson’s, young or old. Every hour, two more people are diagnosed. 

Parkinson’s is what happens when the brain cells that make dopamine start to die. There are over 40 symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety. Some are treatable, but the drugs can have serious side effects. It gets worse over time and there’s no cure. Yet.

But we know we’re close to major breakthroughs. By funding the right research into the most promising treatments, we get closer to a cure every day.

Until then, we're here for everyone affected by Parkinson’s. Fighting for fair treatment and better services. Making everyone see its real impact. 

People with Parkinson’s, scientists and supporters, fundraisers and families, carers and clinicians, all working side by side. Impatient for change, we’re taking a stand, speaking out, chipping in, and playing our part.
