Story
Parkinsons UK is a charity very close to my heart. They are a huge support and go well out of their way to help us as a family. Parkinson's is a hideous disease affecting so many people. Im going to commit to swimming silly distances, please support this amazing cause. Thank you.
Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition.
People with Parkinson's don't have enough of the chemical dopamine in their brain because some of the nerve cells that make it have stopped working.
Around 166,000 people live with Parkinson’s in the UK. Parkinson's is on the rise. In the UK today, someone is diagnosed every 20 minutes. By 2050, the number of people with Parkinson’s worldwide will double to 25 million.
We're the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way.
We don’t wait for change, we make it happen. Campaigning for better health and care. Funding research into groundbreaking new treatments. Running life-changing support services.
We’re a powerful community united by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.
