Paul Howard, Community Liaison Manager at Parkwood Academy, completes Land’s End to John O’Groats Charity Cycle Ride.
Having battled my way through wind and rain and the occasional, fleeting flash of sunshine, I finally completed my charity cycle marathon from Land’s End to John O’Groats on 28th August. Like many other people, my brother is suffering from the effects of Parkinson’s Disease and this cycle trip has been a personal challenge, firstly to give what support I can to Parkinson’s UK who help fund vital research into the disease and secondly to see what, at 61, I still have left in my locker!
It is a trip that my brother and I have talked about for years and I thought it was about time for some action! Fundraising has been brilliant and with Gift Aid we have already raised approximately £2500. If you would like to donate, please visit my website http://www.justgiving.com/paulhowardlejog2012. Please accept my thanks on behalf of Parkinson’s UK.
