SUNDAY (14 JUNE) saw the maddest event happen! A fun, organised, guided walk in support of ‘Newcastle Emlyn and Tivyside Parkinson’s Support Group’ and ‘Parkinson’s UK Cymru’.
Held on the 14th of July in Llandysul (Wales) at Y Porth Hotel, and attended by exuberant walkers from all over Ceredigion and as far away as London, 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.
The event has so far raised over £6000 from the walk, raffle and donations!
Selected from the 80 walkers, Amelia aged 5 from Wiltshire won this year’s painting, designed by the artist Rhiannon.

All walkers were encouraged to wear a ‘mad’ hat, the ‘madder’, the better.
All walkers received a medal and tea party drinks and cakes on completion.
There were three guided walks all starting and ending at Y Porth Hotel (Llandysul). The first walk was 30 minutes long, the second 2 hours, with the third 4 hours long.
