Peter’s story

We are delighted to be raising funds for Parkinson's UK as not only have we lost a dear family member to this life shortening disease, but one day we hope science will be able to prolong life or indeed find a cure, so surely a challenge worth fighting for. Indeed many people have either a friend or family member who has been diagnosed and so you know all too well how deliberating and dreadful Parkinson's disease really is.
As some of you will know, our family was fortunate enough to inherit a stunning 1959 BRG Triumph TR3A, affectionately named Dexter. This car has brought about a whole new learning curve and part of that learning has come through Club Triumph who have again opened up the challenge to drive the infamous Round Britain Reliability Run - 2,000 miles around Great Britain in 48 hours, with all funds raised to Parkinson's UK. With son Louis as my co-pilot our aim is to finish the course on time but just doing the maths you will quickly realise is a proper challenge for both the car and us!
If you would like to donate (however big or small) Louis and I would be so grateful as in the darkest moments (I fear howling gales in northern Scotland) when we are wondering what on earth we have let ourselves in for, we'll be reminded of your generous support, and we'll have to just dig deep and carry on! In case you are wondering, there is no Air BnB or such like en route so sleep, or rather a lack of it, is a major factor.
We leave Knebworth in Herts at 6pm on Friday 3rd October and head up the A1, straight on north to John O'Groats before heading south west to Land's End and back to Knebworth in time for our tea on the Sunday (well that's the plan!).
We aim to raise £2 for every 1 mile completed and for those that kindly donate I'll be sending you a no holds barred summary of how we got on.
Thank you for reading this and of course your kind generosity.
