Bumping this up. Found out today that the organisers have changed the route to include a ride up Cheddar Gorge! Not sure if that is a good thing or not.
Appreciate times are hard, but am going to put a shameless beg out again.
Am up to £1200 - but still a very long way to go.
A variety of circumstances mean I have struggled to promote this with any events. TBH I have no real idea where to start. If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly received.
I know those of you undertaking the London to Amsterdam ride have held collections at The Glades in Bromley and at The Valley. How do you organise that sort of thing? Am thinking or possibly setting up a turbo trainer somewhere and having a bucket collection - no idea as to the legalities of that?
Anyway, if any of you could spare a few quid it would be much appreciated.
Clem - if you've got a turbo you could try doing a sponsored bucket challenge in a supermarket. Mate of mine raised 340 quid doing that for a few hours last year
In mate good luck... When I lived in Kinross I walked a bit with Ian Botham on his walk in the 80,s nice bloke but admitted loved hammering Kent ccc when they played. Also met a guy who was running backwards the whole way ffs that's hard.
Botham had Allan Borders brother with him and he was a great craic.
Exactly 5 weeks today, I will have (hopefully) completed day one of my Lands End to John O'Groats challenge. Thanks to all of you who have contributed to the cause and helped me raise £1700.00 for Parkinson's UK. I am still £200.00 shy of my target, so anyone who fancies chucking a few quid in is more than welcome to. Cheers.
This is now getting very real. Just over 7 days till the off. I am currently £190.00 short of my £1900.00 target. If anyone wants to bump it please do so. Would be great to hit the target before I leave!
Final update till after I hopefully finish. Have smashed through my fund raising target. Loads donated by the good folk on here. Thanks to all of you, it's much appreciated.
My son got married recently and one of his guests was my brother-in-law, who suffers from Parkinson's.
My brother-in-law has fought this disease so bravely and without complaint for many years but sadly this effing awful disease is winning and it was so sad to see a man who was once an eminent structural engineer struggling to get out of his chair.
So thanks for your efforts in raising much needed funds to try and find a cure for this disease. And the sooner we do so, the better.
Just donated £45 to your fund so you can end on a nice round figure! (Although I obviously hope further donations come in).

A £1 from everyone on this site would ease my anxiety over raising this money! It's more stressful than the thought of the ride!
Anyway, any help that can be offered would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
