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

Myself and Aidan are going to be walking from Manchester to Sowerby Bridge via the canal, this is around 33 miles and will take us approximately 12 hours to do.

The Parkinson's charity sits close in our hearts having lost a beloved Dad and Grandad in September 2022. He had Parkinson's for many years as did my Grandma Lily. It's a horrible disease and having seen two relatives suffer with it and hear others stories we want to raise as much as we can each year for the charity.

( please note this is a new page set up as the old one became inactive, the donations on the old page have already gone to Parkinsons UK via just giving )
