On 14th August, 5 community members, Lyndsey Dyer, Jenna Hood, Katie Sewell, Becca Whyte and Youth Board member Tilda Whyte will complete a sponsored walk to multiple major children’s hospitals in central London delivering PansPandasUK information packs and conference invites before finishing at the houses of Parliament. Please support them in their quest to spread awareness by donating here.

Story

On Friday 14th August 2026 these community members will begin the PANDA Trek to Parliament walking around 10 miles across the city to hand deliver conference invitations to major NHS hospitals in the hope of raising both funds and awareness.

They will do this to support families who live with PANS or PANDAS everyday. These little known conditions can devastate a family almost overnight, leaving them confused and frightened about what the future might hold. PANS PANDAS UK often becomes a lifeline for these families, helping them to understand the conditions, to find help and giving them hope for the future.

Your donations are very important to us as without them we would not be able to continue our work to increase awareness of PANS and PANDAS, and provide a support network for the families affected.

You can donate here, or if you are a member of Team PPUK, click 'Start Fundraising' and set up your personalised page to share with your supporters.

Remember, however you fundraise for PANS PANDAS UK, be sure to post your progress and keep your fundraising page up to date so friends and family can cheer you on.
