Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you will know, my Dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in the early days of Gordon Brown's premiership. It's not Gordon's fault of course - he just happened to be there...

Anyway, over a decade later, Dad is still going strong, but is suffering a bit at the hands of what he calls "my mate Parky". 

So, on the 27th October I will be cycling around 250 miles from my current home in Bedford to my childhood home in Stockton-on-Tees over four days to raise money for Parkinson's UK. Overall I'll be climbing over 6,600 feet of hills - including the gorgeous but slightly scary North Yorks Moors. 

Anything you are able to give at this time (I know that things are very tight for a lot of people) will be massively appreciated. 

I'll let you know if my childhood accent comes back as I get further north...hinny.

Thank you - Mark
