Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

I was diagnosed with Parkinsons 3 years ago and take daily medication. In the early years of the disease the medication is quite effective in masking or hiding the symptoms.

 

The dosage is gradually increased as the disease progresses although as time goes by the medication becomes less effective.

 

There is no cure and no one can tell you what causes the disease or how quickly and how far you will deteriorate towards not being able to look after yourself.  

 

Exercise is recommended to try and delay the stiffening and possible seizure of the limbs and hence my decision to get on my bike. The challenge is to have a go at the Dunwich Dynamo which is a 200km overnight ride from London to Dunwich in July.

 

Please will you also consider sponsoring the challenge of 2014. I will be supported on the ride by my son Ed and good friend Phil.

 

Barclays my former employer have agreed to match £for £ anything raised up to £750.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

 

 

Thank you.          Trevor 


Just a short note before I go to bed to say that we completed the Dunwich Dynamo cycle ride earlier today. We set off from Hackney at 7.50pm yesterday and arrived in Dunwich  on the Suffolk coast just before 7am. Unfortunately we got lost at one point during the night which added another 10 miles to the ride so we had covered 130 miles by the time we reached Dunwich.

We saw many flashes of lightning during the night and the roads were flooded in parts but miraculously we completed the ride without getting wet. Disappointing weather for July but the challenge is complete.

Thank you for your support
