Step out with Walk for Parkinson's

11/5/2021

0 Comments

 
​Join Welford Park - Walk for Parkinson’s UK or take part virtually - the choice is yours!  
  • Every pound raised, matched by the Frank and Evelyn Brake Connect Fund, will help transform information and support services for people affected by Parkinson’s
 
You  can now sign up to Welford Park Walk for Parkinson’s on Sunday 4 July  to help fund vital support for people affected by the condition, or if you would like to volunteer at this event please contact us too.
 
Charity Parkinson’s UK has launched its annual Walk for Parkinson’s series, which was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This year, there are three ways to take part:

  • Join one of our socially distanced organised walks in your area at Welford Park.
  • Walk for Parkinson’s 66 mile challenge: complete 66 miles of walking in July
  • Walk for Parkinson’s Your Way: walk 2 or 6 miles wherever you are over 25 and 26 September.
The money raised by Walk for Parkinson’s will help transform the way the charity offers information and support to people with Parkinson’s, and the people in their lives. This year, thanks to the Frank and Evelyn Brake Connect Fund, sponsorship will be matched pound for pound, doubling the impact for people affected by Parkinson’s.
 
Organised walks taking place include Welford Park in Newbury on Sunday 4 July. The walks will comply with local coronavirus (COVID-19) guidance. 
 
This year, there will also be two virtual walking challenges: Walk for Parkinson’s 66 mile challenge and Walk for Parkinson’s Your Way. 
 
If you know 66 people, you know one person living with Parkinson’s. So why not take on Walk for Parkinson’s 66 by walking 66 miles throughout July?  How you want to complete this challenge is up to you. Whether it’s alone or socially distanced, all you have to do is reach the target of 66 miles by the end of the month.
 
With Walk for Parkinson’s Your Way, you choose your own course, when you do it and who you walk with over the weekend of 25 and 26 September. Participants can choose from two distances - 2 or 6 miles - depending on what suits you best.
