Lyn Spall - Wing Walking in September! 

A message from Lyn Spall:-

"I am doing a very whacky thing on 1st September- I will be Wing Walking for Parkinson’s UK.  As many of you may be aware my husband Don suffers from Parkinson’s and I am doing this to raise awareness of this horrible condition and also to raise money for more research.  I have set up a Just Giving page. Please click here for the link.  I am happy also to take donations in cash or cheque (made payable to Parkinson’s UK).  It is a very scary but exciting thing to do and I hope to raise lots of money for this worthy cause.  Thank you very much, Lyn
