£1000 Down, £9000 to Go (That’s a Lot of Cake)

Reaching 10% of our target before we’ve even launched our first official event is a massive win. It’s a powerful reminder that while Parkinson's and Testicular Cancer are tough opponents, together we can significantly raise awareness of these two conditions and help say ‘balls’ to them both. If we can do this much just by starting the conversation, perhaps that £10,000 target isn't as far away as I first thought?

Thankfully, Freddie Whitelaw was there to prove that sometimes, all you have to do is ask.
