100 mile walk across Pennines for Parkinson's disease drops into Doncaster
An annual charity walk to raise funds to fight Parkinson’s disease has dropped into Doncaster on 100 mile route across the Pennines.
A group of nine walkers set off earlier this week to raise funds for the Rochdale, Middleton, Heywood branch of Parkinson's UK.
The walk started from Scunthorpe, passing through Doncaster and on to Barnsley, where more were set to join.
Then its on to Huddersfield to pick up another walker with the group continuing on to Manchester.
On the final day, the group will be met by 40 family and friends to walk the last 13 miles to Heywood.
'Ken's Walk' started in 2007 when a family friend was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and since 2007 the annual walk has raised over £165,000.
Organiser Karen Fieldhouse said: “Our aim is to spread awareness during the walk and raise as much money as possible to help those suffering with this awful disease.”
