Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

3 years ago I was lucky enough to join a group trekking along the Great Wall of China. It was a wonderful experience and with the very generous support of friends and family I managed to raise £3448. A fantastic sum every penny of which went to Parkinson's UK. This charity does such a lot to help people who either have Parkinsons or are affected by someone with it. With their various fund raising schemes, they are able to donate millions of pounds each year into research and education.

Now, three years on Brian is now in an advanced stage of this horrible illness so we both know how important these events are. This time I am off to Annapurna, Nepal. Brian can't trek anymore but is a wonderful support to me trying to get fit enough for this latest adventure and will be with me in spirit if not in body, every inch of the way, blisters, aching joints, moans and groans and especially the great fun of it all.

I can't really believe I am doing this again, and have only a short time to prepare, so any support however small will help me to persevere and keep training.  I even go to the gym now! 

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
