A Barry woman has raised almost £1,000 with a wing walk.

Patsy Hunt faced her fears on April 25 at AeroSuperBatics, Cirencester, raising £950, more than her aim of £800.

The challenge was all in aid of the charity Parkinson’s UK Cymru, a cause close to her heart due to the loss of her grandmother, Jo, to Parkinson's disease in 2020.

Ms Hunt wants to help the charity to develop better treatments and eventually a cure for the condition.

The 28-year-old said: "Doing the wing walk was such an incredible experience!

"It's been mixed emotions the last few days, reaching and exceeding my target for donations is so heartwarming, but I wish my nan was here to see everybody's generosity.

"I know for certain that she would have loved doing the wing walk!

"I'm so glad I did it and I'm just super grateful for everybody's support."

Parkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world with no current cure.

It affects approximately 153,000 people in the UK, including more than 8,300 in Wales.

There are more than 40 potential symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety.

Keri McKie, community fundraiser at Parkinson’s UK Cymru, said: "We are so grateful to Patsy for taking on this incredible challenge for Parkinson’s UK.

"With more than 40 potential symptoms, Parkinson’s can devastate lives.

"We’ve made huge breakthroughs in the last 50 years, but there is still no cure and current treatments are not good enough."

Ms McKie also expressed hope that Patsy's undertaking would inspire others to support the charity's cause.

She added: "We hope that Patsy's fundraising challenge inspires you to get involved with Parkinson’s UK.

"There are lots of ways for you to get involved and support us - from volunteering at an event to campaigning for better services.

"Without the generosity of people like you, our work would not be possible."
