General Chat

our son, his wife and a friend who, yesterday, completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in 11hrs and 12 minutes. They have raised almost £2,000 for Parkinson's UK.

Not only have they raised the money, but they have also raised awareness of this dreadful condition which affects so many people around the world.

It is now 9 years since his dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's and our son felt he wanted to do something to help the wider picture. Considering that he, himself, has had both back and knee surgery in the past, I think he has done incredibly well.

He has received amazing support from both family and his wide circle of friends.

We have also been touched by the generosity of those from our church - who love my husband to bits - but I'm not jealous :-D

I am just so grateful for so many things......and wanted to share this news with you. <3

So very well done to them all Cynthia and how right you are to be proud and thankful for those that go 'the extra mile' to raise awareness of all these horrid diseases. That must have taken some stamina. :-) <3

Congratulations to the Team. :-D

Congrats to all :-D

You are rightly proud of them. They did good!!! :-D

Many congratulations to all

Many congratulations to all

No wonder you are feeling so proud Cynthia. Everyone who attempts such a hard
challenge deserves great praise. What an amazing amount of money raised for an
awful disease so close to home too. Well done to your son and daughter in law.
They must feel exhausted but elated too as their determination has paid off.

Thanks for sharing such good news on here today, there isn't enough of it around.

Well done to them all Cynthia x

Well done to them Sylvia. Parkinson's is an awful disease, so all that money for research is really needed

Thank you everyone. They came round to see us this afternoon which was lovely of them and they weren't as exhausted as I thought they would be - they were tired but happy. :-D

Congratulations to them all Cynthia, it's close to my heart that something can be found to help with Parkinsons, so I can't really put into words my admiration for them, and you! xx <3

Congratulations to them all xx

and you are so right to be very proud of them for what they achieved today, and what they have achieved by doing it.

A wonderful achievement, - no wonder you are proud of them.

How lovely to see them soon after too, to share that joy and excitement with them.

As you say, the awareness will be a lasting testimony to their success as well.

Well done to your family for raising that amount of money. Parkinsons is awful. My grandson only 21 has Huntingtons which is one step up from Parkinsons. Hopefully with research into Parkinsons there maybe a glitter of hope they will find something for both of these horrendous illness's. Pat them all on the back xx

Well done to them all, they have done you proud.

Well done to all the family such a worth while corse I had a uncle with Parkinson's and two cousins also a very good friend. My brother does a lot of long walks in aid of heart problems <3 <3

Congratulations and Well Done to your son and his team, Cynthia :-)

Well done to them all. A cause worthy of support.

Thank you everyone......your kind thoughts are much appreciated. <3
