As some of you may know, my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's about a year ago. Since then I've read about the work that Parkinson's UK is doing and there is great hope that with further support to fund research into treatments, further effective and affordable ways to help all sufferers of Parkinson's can be achieved in the near future.

Ride London is a 100 mile cycle starting from the Olympic Park in Stratford, heading out through Chiswick to take in some of Surrey's steepest climbs, then coming back in to finish on the Mall.
