A fun, organised, guided walk in support of Newcastle Emlyn and Tivyside Parkinson's Support Group and Parkinson's UK Cymru.
Walking every day can drastically improve the ability to live an independent and fulfilling life, this is even more important for people with Parkinson's. Research has found that just 20 to 30 minutes of brisk walking a day may slow the progression of Parkinson's symptoms while improving gait, balance, tremor and flexibility.
Madhatters Walk for Parkinson's aims to encourage people with and without Parkinson's to join us and help to raise much needed funds for local and national Parkinson's charities.
Register to walk
All participants must register and raise the minimum sponsorship amount of £20. Sponsorship money will be collected on the day (please bring cash).
