Students at a North Yorkshire school have launched an ambitious fundraising drive to help support those living with a disease which has touched the lives of many there.
Ripon Grammar School head girl Zara Ali, whose grandmother Janie sadly died after suffering complications from Parkinson’s disease, is one of the driving forces behind the school’s charity week campaign.
Parkinson’s is one of the fastest-growing progressive neurological conditions in the world and students hope their fundraising will help support sufferers and their families in addition to giving vital medical research projects a boost.
The school's fundraising events for Parkinson’s UK - which include a fashion show, staff pantomime, fun quizzes, a DJ set, dance competitions and games – will run from October 20 to 24.
