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

Hi Everyone. Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm walking from Coast to Coast starting at St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hoods Bay in East Yorshire. The walk is a 188 mile route to raise some money for Parkinsons Uk. The charity funds ground-breaking research into treatments, as well as providing support for people and their families living with the condition.

My Dad was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2021. Whilst the condition has changed his mobility and physical abilities, the medication and support made possible by Parkinsons UK has helped him greatly. My grandfather in law also lived through the illness and sadly passed away this year.

Parkinson’s currently affects around 145,000 people in the UK. The progressive neurological condition severely impacts a patient’s quality of life with symptoms like mobility problems, decreased coordination and a tremor, and can also result in memory loss and low mood.

This is a brilliant charity and any donation you wish to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
