Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. There is no cure for it yet but every pound we raise will go towards helping to find one.
My step-Father David and his twin bother Richard are suffering from Parkinson's Disease with symptoms such as tremors, slowed movement , rigid muscles and impaired posture and balance problems. This effects sleep, speech and everyday living. The medicine used today can only temporarily calm the symptoms.
I will be cycling for 24hrs on a circular course around Bristol, starting at 6pm on Friday 24th February . By staying close to Bristol it will allow more local riders and supporters to join me. I will post the route shortly.
Parkinson's UK is the largest charitable funder of Parkinson's research in the UK and have so far invested more than £50million in research. The charity aims to 'find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson's'. https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/
