Three years older - but obviously not three years wiser - as we are preparing for our next long distance walk, Wainwright's Coast to Coast. This is undoubtedly our biggest challenge yet, and we are all a little nervous as to the enormity of the task.
But we are doing it for a great cause - to help cure Parkinson's!
Parkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world and there is no cure....yet. It affects not only the 150,000+ people in the UK who are living with Parkinson’s, but also those that live with, love or look after them. The frightening thing about it is knowing you can't get better - and wondering how many of the 40+ symptoms are going to hit you, when, or how severely. We all need hope that one day there will be a cure.
I was diagnosed 5 years ago at the beginning of lockdown. My consultant told me to ‘keep moving’ in order to stave off the effects of the condition, and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I am one of the lucky ones - so far - my medication works and I have been able to keep walking. But who knows what is round the corner? More research is desperately needed to better understand and ultimately find a cure for this condition. I have met so many fantastic and inspirational people over the past five years from the Parkinson's community - PLEASE HELP US PROVIDE HOPE.
