Story

My dad is a incredibly active man who has always been a great source of inspiration to me (though I have never told him this). He has always encouraged my brothers and me to be active and led by example. A few years ago he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, which was a bit of shock. He has stubbornly disregarded his diagnosis and continued to be active, even cycling across Australia (virtually). So why am I raising money for this amazing man? Well I'm not. His diagnosis has brought Parkinson's to my attention and I wanted to raise money for those people who need support during, what is a very debilitating disease for thousands of people around the UK.

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.
