Parkinson’s Disease became an unexpected guest in our home 21 years ago when Denis received his diagnosis on 15 November 2005 and 13 years later with Parkinson’s Dementia.

Parkinson’s Disease is one of the fastest growing neurological conditions, with more than 10 million people worldwide living with PD. It is a progressive disease with over 40 symptoms including motor, non-motor and behavioral symptoms and over times affects all areas of your life and that of your loved ones as well.

This October I will be attempting to walk 100km to raise funds for Cure Parkinson's, a charity that funds research into a cure for the condition. Cure Parkinson's is working with urgency to fund research looking for ways to slow, stop or reverse the progression of Parkinson's.

Perhaps you would like to donate to this great cause as I walk to raise awareness and raise funds. You could also join in walking 100 kms in October too!
