Story

<p>Hi!</p> <p>Yes, I'm fundraising again. This time for <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">'The Cure Parkinson's Trust'</span></strong>. I'm off to <span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Borneo</strong></span> in <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">2012</span></strong>, visiting caves with a million bats in the rainforest, trekking through the&nbsp;jungle over the Headhunter's Trail, dealing with 'creepy crawlies', staying with locals in their 'longhouse', visiting a wildlife reserve&nbsp;and climbing the highest mountain in South-East Asia, 'Mount Kinabalu' (&gt;4000m!), before visiting&nbsp;the Sepilok&nbsp;<strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Orang-Utan </span></strong>orphanage!</p> <p>I've chosen Cure Parkinson's in&nbsp;support of <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">John Dickson</span></strong>, veterinary surgeon, who was my&nbsp;colleague for many years at <strong>Pennard Veterinary Group</strong>, Sevenoaks. John&nbsp;started suffering from Parkinson's&nbsp;some&nbsp;time before retiring as a vet. He was a 'mover and shaker' at work in the end, but has now found that playing golf is&nbsp;better than stitching up dogs to keep his mind off Parkinson's! Please help me raise money to find a cure for this debilitating disease!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
