Well worth taking part as Parkinson's Disease is a particularly nasty affliction we all could get in later life

I would urge you to join in even if its only to sponsor some one else.

By way of an update I am doing this & am going to be bothering people for sponsorship I thing a £2 fix would be quite good enough, I hope to have a proper sponsor form for the wednesday night events & will be bothering you.

Put me down for a fiver.  I will square up with you in July (Zarni should vouch for my integrity)

[EvilGinger]

Ok consider it done thank you

Just to let every one know that I have a whole £32 Pledged so far & I have not yet spoken to most of my customers which I will do  Tomorrow & they all had the flyer on Wednesday.

I will keep every one posted as to how much we get but want to send my warmest thanks to those who have already signed up for this as I say its a brilliant cause & I am mad enough to add an unknown number of miles to my Sunday constitutional in aid of it.

Further UPDATE the running total is now £37 thank you all

I've filled in the form and left £5 with Phil.
 Good luck on Sunday Sir.

[EvilGinger]

Thank you, its not Sunday which worries me its the following Monday but its all in a good cause

 Ginger

[EvilGinger]

Update the running total is now something like £68 with more than that pledged & I am beginning to lose track of quite how much. I do however think we are going to raise a useful amount.


 Ginger

[Oskar]

A very worthy cause.
You can put me down for a fiver as well, good luck

[EvilGinger]

Update the running total is now well over £70 with more than that pledged & I have lost track of quite how much. I do however still think we are going to raise a useful amount.

Which I will post when its finalized other than that I am all set for tomorrow but I am hoping the weather improves.

[EvilGinger]

Well I have done it & I have pictures to prove it which I will post here tomorrow I dont seem to be suffering for my deed yet but I am still not looking forward to tomorrow as I have clocked up another three miles over and above  my usual tally.



 Ginger

[CrazyFrog]

Congratulations on your achievement.

Well done sir.

[EvilGinger]

Update I have been out collecting for this today and whilst I have not done all of the collecting yet I have £70 in cash already in hand I am at present predicting a final total in the region of £100 when I have it all in.

So thank you & well done for your support.
