Give a monthly gift
Setting up a regular gift is a great way to make a difference to the lives of people with Parkinson's.
A regular gift means we can plan ahead. It means we can invest in long term research projects to deliver the next new treatment in years not decades. Until then, we can continue to support everyone living with Parkinson's, just like Ray and you can read his story below.
Will you set up a monthly gift? A gift of just £10 could pay for a DNA collection kit, which is needed to determine a specific change in the genes associated with Parkinson's. Opening avenues for new treatments in the future.
Donate monthly and, together, we'll find a cure for people with Parkinson's.

Donations so far have helped fund vital research that has delivered groundbreaking discoveries, new medications and better care. Your monthly gift will fund researchers across the UK and the world, working on pioneering projects that could slow, stop or reverse Parkinson's.
And until we have a new treatment, your gift will also help everyone with Parkinson's to live well. We offer support online, over the phone and through our amazing Local Advisers.
We know you're dedicated to improving life for everyone with Parkinson's as we are. And we'll make sure we keep you informed about what your generous gifts have achieved with updates every year.

Ray's story
Ray had problems with his shoulder all his life before he was diagnosed with Parkinson's at 56.
"I've never tried to hide my diagnosis. A lot of people that I told would say they knew somebody who had it, and that they seemed to be alright. And a lot of people still saw it as I might just have a bit of the shakes in a few years time. People knew as little about it as I did, basically. There were a lot of stories and half-truths."
Ray has thrown himself into his hobbies and loves his music, seeing it as an escape. He has used his talent to fundraise for Northern Lights and Parkinson's UK.
"I keep thinking that there's a real possibility to bring other people with Parkinson's in on this and let them share in the creative process."
Ray has also taken part in research projects, some in the form of surveys during lockdown and some doing practical things like imagining actions to do when freezing or having trouble walking.
"A cure is all I think about. I'm really hopeful, with some of the recent developments, and I can see that with things like stem cells, there's a real opportunity. I just keep thinking that I've got to keep fit long enough to benefit from it!"
