Raising money for Parkinsons
Bryn Williams, a schoolfriend of mine from Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland, and now based in Glasgow, was diagnosed a couple of years back with Parkinson's. He has since been working flat out to raise money for various charities and organisations, both researching the disease and caring for sufferers. To date he has raised £96,859 - it would be great if SGNE blog readers could help to nudge that further towards the £100,000 mark!
Bryn's website is at www.wobblywilliams.com and any donation made by a British tax payer will also have added value through the Gift Aid scheme.
