Parkinson’s UK - Credit Suisse Banger Rally

Parkinson’s UK is taking part in the annual Credit Suisse Banger Rally from 12-14 September 2014. The event involves decorating an old “banger”, driving it from Canary Wharf to Paris via Luxembourg in three days, and completing a series of challenges on the way to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s UK.

Historically, a charity partner has never taken part in the event, but Credit Suisse is hopeful that our involvement will help break the fundraising target for the first time in Banger Rally history.

Our team: The Cyan-tists
Parkinson’s UK employees Ghalib Ullah, Alex Morton, Maria Taylor and Abbie Yaxley make up the team, and after a bit of brainstorming decided on the theme Parkinson’s UK heroes: the scientists helping us get that bit closer to a cure.

How you can help
Please look out for our fundraising activities - there’ll be cake sales, fancy dress days, lots of sporting sweepstakes and a gig – so watch out for upcoming announcements and sponsor us here on our JustGiving page. 

Thank you

We’re hugely grateful to Free Spirit Automotive Ltd for very generously providing us with our lovely banger car free of charge. But we still need your help to reach our fundraising target!

Our partnership with Credit Suisse
Parkinson's UK is the Credit Suisse UK Charity of the Year 2014. The partnership is a fantastic opportunity for us to:

• Fund groundbreaking research into the world's most detailed study of Parkinson's dementia to help future generations.
• Provide more Parkinson's nurses to offer specialist care to the thousands of people with Parkinson's dementia.
• Be transformational for Parkinson's UK and our supporters. It goes beyond just fundraising. The support of Credit Suisse will help us to raise our profile and awareness of the condition among the public and help dispel myths around Parkinson's and Parkinson's dementia.

Thank you for your support
Ghalib, Alex, Maria and Abbie
