Helen's SPONSORED SLIM-2-SKYDIVE for Parkinson'sUK
Parkinson's is something very close to my heart as my Dad has been suffering with it for the last 15 years. My Mum is amazing in her endless caring for him and I also help too. Parkinson's symptoms and how quickly they progress are different for everyone. There’s currently no cure, but drugs and treatments are available to manage many of the symptoms. There are many symptoms of Parkinson’s, some of which I have listed below, it’s not just the shaking! - Tremor (shaking), Slowness of movement & Rigidity (stiffness). Losing your sense of smell, Problems with the Eyes, Bladder and Bowel, Falls and Dizziness, Fatigue, Freezing, Pain, Sleep problems, Speech and Communication problems and Swallowing problems. Anxiety, Dementia, Depression, Hallucinations and Delusions and Memory problems to name but a few. If you need more information please email hello@parkinsons.org.uk or you can call their helpline on 0808 800 0303. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, for reading my story and your generous donation. It is all much appreciated. x Helen x My Journey:- "I have to let you know that I also suffer with depression so this does not make my journey easy by any means. This is why you will see peaks and troughs along the way - I am not going to let it defeat me in getting to my goal." xHelen June 2015: 16st 7lb Oct 2015: 17st 2lb (+9lb) Feb 2016: 16st 9lb (+2lb) Aug 2016: 15st 2lb (1st 5lb) but -2stone from highest point.
