Danaher & Walsh Selects Parkinson’s UK as Charity of the Year

Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering has selected Parkinson’s UK as charity of the year.

Employees chose the charity through a company-wide poll. The nomination came from D&W’s Steve Douglas, whose wife Genna lives with early-onset Parkinson’s disease.

Supporting Parkinson’s UK

Parkinson’s UK provides vital support for people living with Parkinson’s.

The charity also funds research into better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. By choosing Parkinson’s UK as charity of the year, Danaher & Walsh will help raise awareness and support important fundraising activity.

Why Parkinson’s UK Was Chosen

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition. It occurs when the brain does not produce enough dopamine. As a result, people can experience symptoms such as shaking, muscle stiffness and reduced mobility.

Around 145,000 people in the UK live with Parkinson’s disease. It is also recognised as the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world.

Raising Awareness and Support

The choice of charity has a personal connection for Danaher & Walsh. Steve Douglas nominated Parkinson’s UK because of his family’s experience with the condition.

As a result, the charity received strong support from employees during the company-wide vote.

Supporting a Worthy Cause

Danaher & Walsh is proud to support Parkinson’s UK as its charity of the year. Through fundraising and awareness activities, we hope to make a positive contribution to the charity’s work.

We look forward to supporting Parkinson’s UK and helping raise funds for people affected by Parkinson’s.
