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

This summer I’ll be cycling from Canterbury to Rome, including crossing the Alps and climbing the Stelvio Pass, in support of Parkinson’s UK.

The ride will be roughly 2,000km, climbing over 60,000ft over 18 days, carrying all my own kit and camping for much of the trip.

I’m fundraising because Parkinson’s has directly affected my family through my mum’s illness, and I want to do something positive to support the work Parkinson’s UK does for people living with the condition.

Thanks to anyone who supports the challenge.
