Great to see Silvia Hurtado, from Silvia’s Lanzarote Consultancy, at our Coffee Morning on Monday !

Silvia has been guiding us through the complicated process of formally setting up LWP Lanzarote as an Association (a legal requirement in Spain)
and is also our nominated translator for hospital consultations for our members.

Your donations help pay for this work - her attendance at hospital appointments ensures nothing is ‘lost in translation’, essential when treatment plans are being discussed and care-givers need questions answered.

Our Team is becoming stronger and little by little we are starting to make a difference - so a big thank you from the families living with Parkinson’s and other neuro conditions 🩵

Sadly the lovely Karen is no longer with us, and is so very missed.

But her story is inspirational, take a moment to read the post below ... it is in Karen’s and my Dad’s memory, that I created LWP

⌚️ 5 OF OUR LWP BEECHBAND WEARERS ALL TOGETHER AT OUR CREATIVE WORKSHOP THIS AFTERNOON ⌚️

These LWP members are not letting their condition define them - they’re fighting back by stepping out of their comfort zone and attending our Creative Workshop this afternoon .. Art, laughter, community … and delicious homemade cake 🍰… what’s not to love !

They are all participating in our LWP 6-week trial wearing the BeechBand device .. and their feedback is hugely encouraging.

The BeechBands and the Workshop have been made possible by generous donations to LWP
🩵 together we are stronger 🩵

🩵 We did it… and wow, what a result! 🩵

A huge thank you to Bev, Beverley, Lynn, Siobhan, and our incredible guide Mario, for walking the challenging 132km Camino de Santiago with me.

It was tough — both mentally and physically — but the camaraderie, laughter, and support we shared carried us through every step of the journey.

Together, we have raised just over €3,100 for LWP… far beyond anything we had hoped for.

To everyone who donated — THANK YOU. Your generosity has made this possible.

These funds will allow us not only to provide more BeechBands for our members, as we had hoped, but also to expand the support we offer to families living with Parkinson’s here on the island.

This was more than a walk — it was a reminder of what can be achieved when people come together with purpose.

🩵 Together, we are stronger. 🩵
