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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 10th May 2025 I will be setting off for the Great Silk Run, a roughly 200 mile on-foot crossing of Tajikistan from it's western border with Afghanistan, through the Bartang Valley & over the mountains to the opposite border with Kyrgystan. It will be a wild & remote journey, covering an average of a marathon a day for 7 days, up to altitudes of around 4500m. I won't be alone as there is a small group of us taking on this challenge, all for our own reasons. For me, it is in memory of my wonderful Mum who passed away in September 2023 after several years of living with Parkinson's & its related dementia.

Parkinson's UK carry out ground-breaking research to find new & better treatments, campaign for better health & care as well as providing support & information for those living with Parkinson's. If you are able to donate a pound or few to help Parkinson's UK continue their amazing work it would be massively appreciated.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you, Suzanne xx
