This is an important T-Shirt.

So today I got my 'Trek Toubkal for Parkinson's' Pack through the post. I was super excited and immediately ran out into the garden to take pictures in the t-shirt. They then turned into jumping pictures. To be fair, I think this is actually a good and gentle start on the exercise that I'm going to be doing in the next few months. (First run on Wednesday (Yay Simon!) - Blog post will follow - depending on physical state after!).

In the pack there were a few stats that I found quite interesting, and those of you who have donated (THANK YOU SO MUCH - completely overwhelmed at people's generosity, it really means a lot!), this is the kind of stuff your money can be going towards.

£2 : Enough to pay for the DVD 'Being There' to be sent to someone recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. 
£26 : Could pay for a Parkinson's Nurse to answer calls on the Parkinson's Helpline for an hour.
£150 : Enough to fund a Parkinson's Nurse for a day - meaning that specialist care can be provided for people with the condition.
£1000 : Could fund a cutting edge research project for a week. 

So, if you see me running round Durham in this t-shirt, please shout hi and something motivational, you can even run with me if you want, I won't be going fast. Ta.
