Anne Twist
Wing Walking Wonder Women
Fundraising for Parkinson’s UK
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Hi I'm Anne Twist ... firstly let me introduce the other nutcase who has agreed to join me in this fundraiser;
Sandra Meighan - friend and fellow daredevil (who is scared of heights)
"Being ridiculously scared of heights I thought it would be a good idea to be strapped on the top of a plane and you will no doubt hear me screaming in the skies above Gloucestershire"
On 8th October we will be pushing out of our comfort zones to raise vital funds for Parkinsons UK
We will each be climbing atop a biplane & taking to the skies!!
The 'art' of wing walking originated as a 'daredevil stunt' in the 1920's ... I'm not going to pretend that I won't be scared but I am looking forward to the challenge.
Having been closely associated with Parkinsons UK for a number of years now since my Dads diagnosis, I have been involved in a number of small ways, fundraising and volunteering. The work that Parkinsons UK do, the support they provide not only to those living with Parkinsons but also to their families and carers, is so so important.
Parkinsons UK are currently funding around 50 research projects into many different aspects of Parkinson's. The research projects exist at different stages of the research pipeline. Parkinsons UK carry out a rigorous evaluation process to ensure that every research project they fund is high-quality science and meets the needs of people with Parkinson's.
How your money helps
£140 pays for 10 helpline advisers for an hour, to provide support and information
£48 funds a clinical researcher for 2 hours
£20 funds an hour of care from a specialist Parkinson's nurse
£10 pays for 2 weeks of nutrients to grow brain cells in the lab for research
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you for your time and support
