I have Parkinson's. It's a nasty, insidious little beast that takes chunks of brain cells and turns them on and off at random times. The meds help but it's not a perfect solution. There is currently no cure.

I do what I can to raise funds to support their work and research into helping people in the future.

I've hosted a couple of fun quizzes, run a bit, walked a lot and decided that long distance swimming would be fun.  More fun is planned.

2021:

• 29th May I walked 100 miles along the SVP from Cattawade to Newmarket, back to Long Melford and home. Non stop.
• On 19th June 2021 I swam 2 miles in Gosfield Lake
• MY BROTHER ALSO CYCLED 205 MILES FOR ME, Chasing The Sun.
• Having planned to wonk 60 miles down the Welsh coast of Cardigan Bay kept company by Mr Sandford who I suspect is hoping I'd forget, the event was postponed so we agreed to walk The Essex Way instead.
• On 14th August 2021 I walked 50km from Sudbury to Cattawade on the SVP.
• On 19th September I swam 2 miles in the Serpentine and completed and collected my London Classics Medal.
•  On 26th September I had planned to swim 5km at Eton Dorney Lake but it was unfortunately cancelled due to Covid so I did it at Gosfield Lake instead.

2022

• 6th February 2022 I Jeffed the Watford Half.
• At the end of May I'm joining a relay team to run from London to Paris.
• On 12th June 2022 I am entered into the Sudbury Triathlon.
• 23rd July my mate Rich and I are going to Conquer the Castle, 6 hours of historic Jeffing.
• And finally, for reasons even I'm not quite convinced about, I've entered the Eton Dorney 10km swim on 25th September 2022.

Is that worth a few pennies?
