Our lab are all doing different challenges. Some PhD students are planning on cycling up to 465 miles in total during June; others are using their creative skills and doing a new Calligraphy writing each day in June (look out for the pictures), our MSc students are getting involved as well, with some planning on walking 3.1 miles per day, others doing 2000 pull ups during June. The challenges vary, some have gone for a month target, others a daily target but we are all doing it for the same reason to raise funds and awareness of Parkinson's and Parkinson's research in Sheffield. This is a subject very close to our hearts and we will do everything we can help.

Two more people are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease every hour, that's 18,000 people every year. Causing a huge loss of physical movement and uncontrollable tremors, the disease will affect 145,000 people in the UK alone in 2020. New treatments are needed to stop Parkinson's in its tracks.Your donations will support this important work, helping our researchers to lead the way in developing new treatments for Parkinson's Disease.
