A special challenge in May
Gary Shaughnessy, recently appointed Chair of Trustees of Parkinson’s UK, is – to say the very least – energetic. Last year he raised thousands of pounds for the charity by cycling all the way from Zurich in Switzerland to his home in Berkshire over 11 days, making use of his contacts in Zurich Insurance to gain matched funding from their charitable foundation. Full details of his next project are still under wraps but we are allowed to tell you that it will take place in or around Oxford on 2nd May, and it will involve attempts on THREE world records.
Gary needs support from us and our friends to make this a success, as one of the targets is to have the largest number of people ever participating in a three-legged race and we’ll need all the runners we can get, regardless of ability! We will share more details as we have them, but for now please hold the date to be a part of this gloriously mad challenge.
