Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition. This means that it causes problems in the brain and gets worse over time. 

Around 145,000 people live with Parkinson’s in the UK. And it's the fastest growing neurological condition in the world.

There are 3 main symptoms - tremor (shaking), slowness of
movement and rigidity (muscle stiffness) - but there are many other symptoms
too.

In 2019 my twin brother Stephen Hopkinson aged 56 was diagnosed with Parkinson's, for which there are lots of treatments, therapies and support however there is currently no cure. Stephen continues to do well.

On Friday 9th September 2022, I along with 11 friends from
the Old Brodleians Cycle Club (OBCC) will be heading to Lands End and on Saturday morning will commence our mammoth cycling challenge; Blood, Sweat & Gears - Lands End to John O Groats in 9 days (Circa 110 miles per day).  [Not bad as the average age of the
group is 60].

Your donation no matter how large or small is very gratefully received and will help Parkinson’s UK  continue to develop new and better treatments and one day a cure.
