Neil Camplejohn, 57, from Beverley, East Yorkshire and a dedicated group of friends, family, and members of the Appleby Frodingham Cricket Club have successfully completed a 27-mile walk to raise vital funds for Parkinson's UK and the club.
The walk saw the group walk from Beverley Cricket Club to the Appleby Frodingham Cricket Club on April 7, enduring a 40mph headwind across the Humber Bridge. The group’s remarkable effort raised a total of £14,352, with half of the funds being donated to Parkinson's UK. In addition, an extra £1,000 was contributed to Parkinson's UK through matched funding by the employers of two of the walkers, bringing the total contribution to Parkinson's UK to £8,176.
Although much effort is put in by many, both before and after the event, no-one can take away the feeling we all had of a sense of achieving something on the day. Sign up, get involved, and raise as much money for Parkinson’s as well as your own local cause.
