About

A fun, organised, guided walk in support of ‘Newcastle Emlyn and Tivyside Parkinson’s Support Group’ and ‘Parkinson’s UK Cymru’.

Walking every day can drastically improve the ability to live an independent and fulfilling life, this is even more important for people with Parkinson’s. Research has found that just 20 to 30 minutes of brisk walking a day may slow the progression of Parkinson’s symptoms while improving gait, balance, tremor and flexibility.

Officially launched today: Held on the 14th July in Llandysul (Wales), the Madhatters Walk for Parkinson’s aims to encourage people with and without Parkinson’s to join us and help to raise much needed funds for local and national Parkinson’s charities.

All walkers will qualify for a chance to win this year’s painting, designed by the artist Rhiannon (which can be seen featured on our home page and attached).

All walkers are encouraged to wear a ‘mad’ hat, the ‘madder’ the better. The winner of the ‘maddest’ hat will win a trophy! Both winners will be announced at Y Porth Hotel, after the walk.

All walkers will receive a medal and tea party drinks and cakes on completion.
