My story

About mewas diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease in 2006 and write a humorous blog called Slice of Life about living with Parkinson's. One of my passions is cricket. Last year I played cricket (for the first time since I left school) for the mighty Bells Yew Green 4th XI and scored a handful of runs (52 at an average of 4.33). OK I am no Kevin Pietersen but I plan to give it a go again this season! My cricket blog is here. Enjoy!

Runs for the money: So here's the deal - I bat and you pay! I have two targets - 100 runs and £2000. The first one is down to me, but the second is where I need your help.
