Thank you for supporting me in such a big challenge!  I was absolutely terrified of doing the zip, but I was determined to take part and raise as much money as possible for Parkinson's UK to help them find a cure .  As I said before, I have had enormous difficulty with this whole  justgiving thing because I'm useless at computers.  That`s why it has taken me so long to write and thank you all for making it worthwhile.

The challenge met all my expectations.  I expected to be scared stiff, and I was scared stiff.  I expected it would be horrible and it was horrible.  I expected to be very pleased when it was all over, and I am indeed very  pleased that it is over.   But although I thought it was dreadful, I`m glad I did it, because so far I`'ve raised more than £900 to go towards Parkinson`s research.

Thank you everybody, online and offline, for taking me that little bit nearer my goal of being able to say, "I USED TO have Parkinson`s but now I`m cured."
