Story
Less than one month to go until we - Louise, Alison, Ania & Maxine - gather at the Bandstand at Battersea Park to take on the London 20km Walk To Cure Parkinson’s!
Cure Parkinson’s was set up in 2005 by four people living with Parkinson’s. Frustrated by the lack of progress in research or curative treatments, Tom Isaacs, Sir Richard Nichols, Air Vice Marshal Michael Dicken and Sir David Jones set up Cure Parkinson’s to focus on research projects with the potential to slow, stop or reverse the progression of Parkinson’s – to find a cure. Sadly, there is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease. So, what does Cure Parkinson’s mean by “cure”?
When we say we’re looking for a “cure” for Parkinson’s, we mean we’re looking for treatments that are disease-modifying. These are therapies with the potential to slow, stop, or reverse Parkinson’s progression. Currently, only symptomatic therapies are available for people with Parkinson’s. Cure Parkinson’s is working to change this.
Our aim is to raise £1,000 for Cure Parkinson’s - please support us if you can.
