Story

Dear Friends

 

All 5 of us made it to the summit as planned on Friday, see pictures as proof. The weather was not great with very poor visability, but we made it.

 

Thanks to everyone that has donated.

 

Graeme, Debbie, Gordon, Alex Cook and John Hughes will be attempting to scale Ben Nevis on Friday 21st June 2013. We are doing this to raise money for Parkinson's. The money raised will be split between local Parkinson's groups in Scotland and research into a cure and we are looking for your support.

Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition.

One person in every 500 has Parkinson's. That's about 127,000 people in the UK. Most people who get Parkinson's are aged 50 or over but younger people can get it too. One in 20 is under the age of 40.

As a family we have been affected by Parkinson's through Debbie's Mum suffering from it for over 10 years and we see the benefits she gets by attending local groups.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
