My story

We are taking part in Time to Run to run 30 miles in 30 days to fund Parkinson's UK's groundbreaking research into better treatments and a cure.

In 2021 Sarah recruited people with Parkinson’s to a Nordic walking study, exploring the motor and non-motor impact of Nordic walking. The group is still running, under the leadership of Chris, a retired PE teacher, who lives with Parkinson’s.

We will both run and Nordic walk during November to raise awareness about benefits of taking part in research for the Parkinson’s community.

Around 153,000 people live with Parkinson’s in the UK. It is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. There is no cure. Yet.

We are uniting with thousands of others, all passionate about improving life for people with Parkinson’s.
