Fundraising heroes and awards
Get inspired by our Fundraising Heroes
Our supporters play a vital role raising funds and awareness for us, and continue to prove that no matter your age or ability you can help make a difference to those living with Parkinson’s.
To say thank you, each month we publish a Fundraising Heroes story all about the inspiring challenges and events some of you have undertaken.
Our recent Fundraising Heroes:
Nominate a fundraising hero for our annual award
Each year, we celebrate an exceptional fundraiser who has gone above and beyond to raise funds and awareness for us with our annual Fundraiser of the Year award, and nominations for 2024’s Fundraiser of the Year are now open! The winner will be announced on World Parkinson’s Day next year (11 April 2025).
If you’ve been raising funds for us recently, we would love to feature your story! Email us with your photos and we’ll do the rest.
