Izzy's SkyDive for Parkinson’s UK

Izzy Whitham is raising money for Parkinson’s UK

Sky Dive · 1 June 2025

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

💙 Skydiving for Parkinson's UK – Help Me Make a Difference! 💙

Hi everyone!

I am taking on the exhilarating challenge of a skydive to raise money for Parkinson’s UK, a cause that is incredibly close to my heart. Through my volunteering with Parkinson’s UK and my dissertation research on how the condition impacts language, I’ve seen first-hand the challenges people with Parkinson’s face every day.

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition with no cure, and it affects around 153,000 people in the UK.

I’d be so grateful for any donation – every pound makes a difference. By supporting me, you’ll be helping fund vital research, support services, and campaigns that can improve the lives of those affected.

My dissertation focused on how Parkinson’s affects speech and communication, shedding light on the daily challenges people with the condition face. This research has deepened my commitment to supporting Parkinson’s UK and the vital work that they do.

I want to express my love for Parkinson's UK Reading. Volunteering with this lovely group has truly been one of the best things I have ever done. I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many inspiring individuals and witnessing the compassion, resilience, and sense of community that you foster.

This skydive is for all of you 💙🪂
