Oxford Walk for Parkinson's
This event, organised by Parkinson's UK, is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Choose from three signposted and marshalled routes of 1½, 4½ and 8 miles around our beautiful city to bring in sponsorship for Parkinson's UK and our Branch. Our members traditionally participate as walkers, helpers, and marshals. This year we're asking everyone to ask their friends to walk to widen the sponsorship net. For full details, see the Oxford Walk page of the Parkinson's UK website. Contact Malcolm Benson if you are interested in supporting the walk as a marshal or helper.
