Since I was a boy, I have been facinated by mountains and the sea.  I've walked the hills and climbed on rocks all my life.  I have no fear of heights. A few years ago, I sailed around the Horn and through the southern ocean as bow man on a racing yacht.  My job was to go up the 85 ft mast, whatever the  weather to sort out rigging problems.   I  loved it.

But now since Parkinson's joined in my life, I have a very serious fear of heights.  It was one of the first signs that something was wrong with my balance and agility.

So what is the most challenging thing I can think to do.  Yes.  Abseil off a very tall building.  I will be petrified.  But I'll be keeping that to myself.   I'm doing it to fund a cure for Parkinson's.  Research is at a very important stage and money is needed right now.  Even if you've given before, give again and again.  What's a few pounds?   You'll not miss it.  It will be forgotten in a second.  But the memory that you have helped to cure Parkinson's will live with you for ever.  Please give generously.
