Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am planning to take part in the Slateman Sprint Triathlon to raise awareness of Parkinson's and to raise funds for Parkinson's UK.
The triathlon consists of 750m swim in LLyn Padarn, a 20 km cycle up the Llanberis Pass to Pen y Gwyryd and back to Llanberis, finishing with a hilly 5.8km run in Padarn woods.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's 2 years ago. I used to compete in triathlons and although I find it much more challenging now, it will be rewarding to cross the finish line.
Exercise is currently the only thing that has been proven to slow down progression and help manage symptoms for people with Parkinson's.
I am hoping to encourage others with Parkinson's to exercise and keep active.
