Story
Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page in support of Parkinson’s Disease research at The University of Sheffield.
There is no cure for Parkinson’s Disease and no way to stop the disease from getting any worse. Affecting 145,000 people in the UK alone in 2020, new treatments are needed to stop Parkinson’s in its tracks.
Together with your support, we can make a real difference.
This will be the furthest distance I have ever walked in a single day. I will be walking with my husband, Dan Gray in memory of my Grandma, Elizabeth Messenger (1925-2019), who suffered from Parkinson's Disease.
Our research will result in a huge leap forward towards personalised treatments for Parkinson's:
·Finding personalised treatments for patients to slow how quickly the disease takes hold
· Speeding up the development of new treatments
· Improving the effectiveness and outcomes of clinical trials
Your donations will support this important work, helping our researchers to lead the way in developing new treatments for Parkinson's Disease.
