My story
- 8 days
- 1000 miles
- 25 cyclists
- 120 miles a day!
From the 5 to the 12 of September I will be cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End. This ride is over 1000 miles long and we will be covering an average of 120 miles a day for 8 days in a row! This is one of the longer and tougher routes from top to the bottom of the UK and would be a challenge for most hardened cyclists, which I do not consider myself to be! Nevertheless I have signed up for this challenge and will hopefully be in one piece at Lands End on the 12 of September.....
This ride is being organised by James Bowthorpe who is currently the fastest man to cycle around the world! He volunteers at the Parkinson’s Disease Research Clinic at Kings College London and is one of their largest fundraisers. For his Round the World cycle he raised over £120,000 for the Research Clinic.
For this ride I am hoping to raise £1000 for the Parkinson’s Disease Research Clinic (PDRC) which is run by the Psychiatry Research Trust. This money will go to funding the “What’s Driving Parkinson’s” research project being carried out by the PDRC. Although this is a large amount of money I am confident I can achieve this goal and hopefully my extremely sore legs will be worth it! Any donation or sponsorship you wish to make will help greatly in achieving this goal. Me, and the team at the Research Clinic will be very grateful as your money will go towards a fantastic and much needed cause.
Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition with one in every 500 people suffering from it. That’s about 120,000 people in the UK. Nerve cells in the brains of people with Parkinson’s start to die in an area involved mainly with movement. This loss in nerve cells causes the symptoms of Parkinson’s such as tremor, rigidity and slowness of movement. This disease has a real, long term impact on the everyday lives of sufferers.
Although Parkinson’s Disease was first described over 200 years ago sufficient research has been painfully slow. Detailed plans are in place to take the research forward over 5 years, with maximal efficiency. All that is needed is the money. The ‘What’s Driving Parkinson’s?’ work has clearly demonstrated that there is a better clinical approach to treating this debilitating condition. What is now needed is the funding to enable the planned work to proceed at maximum speed and achieve its objectives of eradicating the misery caused by Parkinson’s Disease.
Thank you, Conor Waldock
