Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Just over three years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's which is the fastest growing neurodegenerative disease in the world. There is currently no cure. Rachel has a brother who is also living with Parkinson's Disease (PD).

Joined by our spouses, Peter and Jane, we have set ourselves a challenge to walk in 4 days the entire 100 km of St Cuthbert's Way, from Melrose, in the Scottish Borders, to Holy Island, on the Northumberland coast, commencing April 27th. We are reaching out to ask for sponsorship and all the money raised will be donated directly to Parkinson's UK which does an excellent job supporting those living with PD together with funding research with the goal of finding a cure. Amongst other things I volunteer with Parkinson's UK as a Lay Grant Application Reviewer and so I see first hand the positive impact of the donations on which Parkinson's UK relies.

On account of PD walking is a challenge for me. I can't be certain that 100k in four days is achievable but I am determined to meet the task head on and earn every £ of sponsorship.
