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

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit&nbsp;our JustGiving page.</p> <p>This could be madness - Steve and I have never ridden a tandem before, and I have never cycled more than 30 miles. To do 60 miles, first up, on a borrowed tandem, will be a challenge for both us&nbsp;&nbsp; - for me just to keep going and for Steve (at the back) to trust my bike handling skills!</p> <p>We're being crazy because we want to support Parkinsons UK and the work it promotes to&nbsp;help sufferers, increase awareness and support research into what is a maddening illness. We would love you to support us and help us reach our fund raising target.</p> <p>Diagnosed with Parkinson's&nbsp;in May 2009 - I try hard to keep on going and doing everything as normal, but sometimes I just have to admit it is not possible and&nbsp;realise my disability. Parkinsons UK provides great support and encouragement to me and many other sufferers.</p> <p>&nbsp;Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
