Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This all started as a bit of a joke really. Someone said to me "why don't you walk from Birmingham to Newbury alongside canals and rivers". I then thought of a very dear friend of mine who has Parkinson’s Disease. She was diagnosed over 5 years ago. She is always in pain, and struggles with everyday things. She can't do the things like she used to do. But she tries to keep positive and keeps going. This is why the walk became reality. Parkinson’s uk needs funds to research this awful disease and hopefully find a cure, sooner rather than later. This is for you Sue. Xx

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.
