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

Parkinson is an awful degenerative disease which affect many people. Stephen, one of my colleagues at work has been recently diagnosed with Parkinson. Unfortunately, I am very aware of the challenges that this disease brings into someone’s personal life as early this year I lost my dad due to Parkinson. My colleague Stephen wanted to take part in the sky dive jump in order to show defiance to this debilitating illness, but unfortunately for medical reasons won’t be able to do so. A group of brave (or maybe crazy) colleagues from Ecologia have therefore decided to collectively take part in a skydive jump to raise money for providing assistance to a charity Parkinson’s UK which provides much need help to families affected by Parkinson. This charity has provided much needed support to Stephen allowing him to be a very key member of the Ecologia's team in Honiton despite his illness. Please help us to raise money in support of this very worthy cause! I have always liked some adrenaline rush so why not to try some skydiving!

Watch out for updates leading to this event currently planned for the first week in September (weather permitting!)
