Hampshire cricketer Jimmy Adams donates £35,000 to Parkinson's UK

December 6, 2016



Hampshire’s Jimmy Adams has donated £35,000 from his benefit year to Parkinson’s UK.
The former England Lions batsman chose to support the charity because his dad, Mike Adams, has been living with Parkinson’s since 2009.
Jimmy, from Winchester, was also joined by Sky Sports Presenter and close friend Dave Clark.
Dave, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2011, hosted a lunch as part of Jimmy’s benefit year to contribute to the final amount.

Jimmy, his dad and Dave met with Parkinson’s UK’s Chief Executive Steve Ford at the charity’s national office in London.
“It was a great year and I was surprised by just how generous people were," said Jimmy.
"By having my dad and Dave so involved in the fundraising, we were able to also raise awareness and give people a greater understanding of what Parkinson’s is.
“I’m looking forward to working with and supporting the charity in the future.”
To generate the amount, Jimmy hosted a number of events including golf and cricket days, silent auctions, a Christmas benefit lunch and a 26-mile walk along the Clarendon Way, where Jimmy was joined by his dad for the last five miles.
Steve Ford, Chief Executive of Parkinson’s UK, said: “Thank you to Jimmy for choosing to support Parkinson’s UK through his benefit year.
“2017 is set to be an exciting year for the charity, but our work wouldn’t be possible without donations like these.”
The money raised by Jimmy will help Parkinson’s UK to continue to support the 127,000 people affected by the condition across the UK and to fund vital research work to find better treatments and ultimately, a cure.

Every hour, someone in the UK is told they have Parkinson's.
It affects 127,000 people in the UK - which is around one in 500 of the population.
Parkinson's is a degenerative neurological condition, for which there currently is no cure. The main symptoms of the condition are tremor, slowness of movement and rigidity.
Symptoms vary from person to person, so people with Parkinson’s can benefit hugely from local groups which provide support and an opportunity to share experiences with others in a similar situation.
Parkinson's UK is the UK's leading charity supporting those with the condition. Its mission is to find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson's through cutting edge research, information, support and campaigning.
