People in Cornwall are being asked to join the fight against illness at Walk for Parkinson’s – Port Eliot on Sunday, June 11, one of a series of walk events across the country for Parkinson’s UK during 2017.

There are a range of distances around Port Eliot House and Gardens on offer, including a two-mile and a five-mile route.

Last year, 82 people took part in the walk at Port Eliot to raise £3,951 between them.

Sky Sports presenter and champion of walking for Parkinson’s UK Dave Clark (pictured) was diagnosed with Parkinson’s himself in 2011.

He said: ’In 2016 I completed my own 200-mile coast to coast walk for Parkinson’s UK. It was tough but the sense of achievement when I crossed the finish line was fantastic.

’I know not everyone can walk that far, which is why our Walk for Parkinson’s at Port Eliot, with a choice of distances, is perfect for everyone.’
