"The Virgin London Marathon was a great celebration of all that is good about humanity. I ran for Parkinson's UK with my cousin and her husband, as my uncle and a couple of members of my congregation have Parkinson's. If you ever have the opportunity to support or run in the marathon, you'll be part of a wonderful experience!"
Reverend Richard Curtis
Why fundraise for Parkinson's UK?
Every hour, someone in the UK is told they have Parkinson's. Because we're here, no one has to face Parkinson's alone.
We bring people with Parkinson's, their carers and families together via our network of local groups, our website and free confidential helpline. Specialist nurses, our supporters and staff provide information and training on every aspect of Parkinson's.
As the UK's Parkinson's support and research charity we're leading the work to find a cure, and we're closer than ever. We also campagin to change attitudes and demand better services.
Our work is totally dependent on donations. Help us to find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson's.
