Great South Run 2020

Parkinson's Disease is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. There is currently no cure for this progressive condition which can have a huge impact on you both physically and mentally. It causes tremors, stiffness of limbs and trunk, pain, impaired balance and coordination, depression and anxiety, changes in memory and thinking and so much more. Our aim is simple- to improve the lives of all those affected by Parkinson's today, not tomorrow.Parkinson’s Care and Support UK is the only UK charity which focuses on Integrative and Complementary Therapies, Holistic Health, Wellness and Care to improve life with Parkinson’s and to help people live better for longer. Parkinson’s Care and Support UK are proactive about health. We are driven by positivity and by understanding that we can improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson’s.

People with Parkinson’s need to be encouraged to be proactive about their health, but do not need pity or sympathy. They need to be understood, given clear and unbiased information, services and care that will enable life to be lived to the fullest.Parkinson’s Care and Support UK does not believe in simply masking symptoms with medications. We believe that in order to live your best life to the fullest, a multifaceted approach is needed and therefore a holistic healthcare plan should be in place for every person with Parkinson’s from diagnosis to end of life.Tomorrow is guaranteed for no man. Please support Parkinson's Care and Support UK so that we can reach those who need it today.A charity registered in England and Wales (1179246) and in Scotland (SC048881)
