Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. It would be fantastic if you would sponsor me on-line.  

I cycled Lon Las Cymru (Holyhead to Chepstow-Cardiff) from 10-17 September 2007 (270 miles).  This is one of the most difficult of the coast2coast cycle routes and I made the journey doubly difficult by doing it on my Brompton folding bicycle!  My mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1990 and I now have two work colleagues recently diagnosed and I wanted to raise funds for the PDS , and to combine this with a personal challenge.

It was a FANTASTIC experience - recommend it to anyone - with a little practice beforehand ofcourse ! 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Parkinson's Disease Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Anyone can get Parkinson’s. It gets worse over time and there’s no cure. Yet. Funding research into the most promising treatments, we’re getting closer to a cure. Until then, we're improving life for people with Parkinson’s, and the people in their lives. Together we'll find a cure.
