Parkinson UK charity ride inspired by Fergus Henderson – last few days to donate

 Group shot with Fergus @St Johns

Inspired by Fergus Henderson (chef and co-owner of St John restaurant, London) we cycled from Pauillac to La Livinière, Minervois in June (12th-16th) to raise money for Parkinson's UK. Famous for Nose to Tail Eating Fergus has had Parkinson's since 1998. As well as the St John's business he and Trevor Gulliver have a vineyard in the Minervois. 

To date we have raised £6423.44 including Gift Aid. We are absolutely delighted. However, you can still donate! Thank you – every bit helps!


We will be closing the Virgin Giving page very shortly, so this is a last call for donations. Perhaps you intended to make a contribution and, for some reason, it didn't get done.
