Walkers in Cornwall are being invited to put their best foot forward and ‘Walk for Parkinson’s’, to raise vital funds for Parkinson’s UK.

The brand new event, Walk for Parkinson’s at Port Eliot House and Gardens, will take place on Sunday, June 12.

The walk will take place around the Grade 1 listed house, park and garden.

The event is designed for walkers of all ages and abilities. 

Walkers can choose between a two- or a five-mile route.

The walk is one in a series of 35 Walk for Parkinson’s events taking place this year across the UK. 

There is no minimum sponsorship required to take part, but the charity is hoping to raise over £315,000 from the 35 events, so suggests walkers aim to raise at least £50. 

The entry fee is £10 for adults (£5 for under 16s). All walkers will receive a fundraising pack with tips and advice, sponsorship forms and an exclusive T-shirt to wear on the day.   

As well as walkers, the charity is on the look-out for volunteers to help register people at the start/finish area or to be a walk marshal at various points on the route during the day.
