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

Recently, someone very close to me was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

It’s never really been something I knew much about, but after looking into it I was surprised and shocked by the number of people who suffer with it, and how debilitating it can be 🥲

I’ve been searching for a good motivator to keep up my sea swimming challenge, and as this is something that’s close to my heart, it’ll hopefully give me the motivation I need to carry on.

So I’m going to attempt to go 365 days of swimming in the sea consecutively, and in doing so hopefully raise some money and awareness to this disease.

Any donations big or small would be greatly appreciated ☺️ Thanks, Jimmy
