Letterkenny will host ‘A Walk in the Park for Parkinson’s’ in two week’s time.
The event, aimed at raising funds and awareness for the Parkinson’s Ireland charity, will take place on Saturday, September 21st, at 11am in the Bernard McGlinchey Town Park.
Sponsored by Home Instead, this inaugural walk will also take place in various locations across Ireland.
The charity has a North-West Branch which holds activities for members in Donegal and Sligo .
Speaking about the launch, CEO of Parkinson’s Ireland Shane O’Brien said: “In addition to raising much needed funds for the services that Parkinson’s Ireland provides, the event will be an opportunity for the Parkinson’s community across Ireland to come together in a show of unity and support. We hope that this event will raise awareness of the fact that an estimated 18,000 people in Ireland have Parkinson’s and that it’s the fastest growing neurological condition.”
