Mission Haggis – John O'Groats to Lands' End · 1 October 2010

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.

Story

After nine and a half days, over 900 miles and countless painkillers The Incredibles have crossed the line at Land's End!
 

We all agreed within the first 48 hours that we'd never do it again, and without all your support and generosity, we probably wouldn't have even made it in the first place.

We are all absolutely dumbfounded by the generosity and kindness of you all and - thanks to the staggering amount you have helped us raise - it seems that Parkinson's UK is as well.

We have been in contact with them and have decided to put all the money towards stem cell research. The £30,000 will go a long way to finding a cure for Parkinson's.

We're in the process of making a video of the trip and we will let you know as soon as it's done. You can then have a good laugh at Alice always eating, Will D trying to keep a regimented time allowance for each stop, Will F trying to do various property deals while cycling and Ed having a complete sense of humour breakdown on only the third day...
