STEP UP TO WALK FOR PARKINSON’S

-

Parkinson’s UK is calling for people of all ages and abilities to unite with thousands of others around the UK to sign-up and step closer to a cure for Parkinson’s.

No matter your age, ability or fitness level, you can Walk for Parkinson’s in 2019.

Walks take place across the UK – in beautiful parks, across sensationa­l countrysid­e and through historic towns and cities. And with shorter or longer distances to choose from, there’s an option for everyone.

Whether you’re up for a challengin­g walk or a gentle stroll, your vital support will help us find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson’s.

Parkinson’s is a progressiv­e neurologic­al condition that affects 145,000 people across the UK. It can affect people of all ages and has over 40 symptoms including tremor, loss of mobility and dementia.

Over the past four years Walk for Parkinson’s fundraiser­s have raised over £1.5 million for Parkinson’s UK’s pioneering research to find a cure – and the charity believes that scientists could now be on the verge of a major breakthrou­gh.

Join a walk near you and be part of the final push in finding a cure.

Entry is £12 for adults and £5 for under 16s.

Fancy walking with your friends, family or colleagues? Discounts are available for team bookings.
