Wing walk for Parkinsons
My beautiful but bonkers wife Rosemary has decided to do a sponsored wingwalk for the Parkinsons UK charity, in memory of a good friend of ours who died of the condition a few weeks ago. The event will be at Wickenby aerodrome in Lincolnshire on 27th May.For those of you that are interested and would like to donate a couple of bob, she has set up a "Just Giving" page here.
I will, of course, be recording the event for posterity and hope to post a video of the occasion on here after the event.

We, of course, could have given fifty quid to Parkinsons UK in memory of our friend, but by doing something like this out of the ordinary and getting sponsorship from family, friends and acquaintances who would never have thought to donate to them, we are hoping to raise fifteen hundred instead.
You do the maths...
