Coast2Coast challenge - May 14: 14 days, 14 miles per day!!
Day 14 - we made it🥂
Day 12 - We have been battered, pummelled, pushed and pulled, but not broken by 50 mph gusts over the North Yorkshire Moors today. Absolutely exhausting keeping your balance but we’ve all made it! 31K along the road, some amazingly beautiful sight looking over the Vale of York, my home hills, Roseberry Topping always in view as the full stop of these beautiful hills - before the last 8 miles on the disused railway that used to bring iron ore down into the valley. Hard on the feet, psychologically hard just trudging on but we have all done it including Scout the dog. Grouse and curlews circling us as they protected their nests , skylark singing when the winds allowed. Just beautiful. Only a couple of squally showers fortunately.
Thank you so much to all those generous donors, whether we we know you or not - it means the world to us that you have been so generous in helping us to fund research to find a cure for this devastating disease

Our story:
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.
