Aim
To raise funds for Parkinson's UK. To help find a cure for Parkinson's Disease
This is why I'm doing this
George and Vera Mear were wonderful parents and grandparents. He served in the war and set up his own blanket business. He was a keen sportsman, excelling in cricket and later on enjoyed his golf. Having retired at aged 60 it soon became evident he was suffering with Parkinsons and looking back he probably knew something was wrong prior to retirement. This horrible disease not only had a devastating effect on Grandad but put an incredible strain on Grandma and the rest of the family. Resulting in what I think was her early death aged 71
Grandad struggled on for a few more years after moving in with my Auntie and died aged 76. Unfortunately my father now aged 78 has inherited this awful disease. It's now time for me to start doing more to help find a cure so people in the future can live without suffering this debilitating horrendous condition.
