by Editor
Tuesday 4th January 2011

This is Alex Flynn who will run, walk, cycle, swim or crawl 10MillionMetres by 2014 to raise £1 Million or more to fund research into a cure for Parkinson's diease.

That's 10MillionMetres of races all by a man who was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson's disease at the age of 36. Notwithstanding his diagnosis, Alex will not give up and will tackle some of the worlds toughest races; all the while fighting a disease with presently no cure that without which will most likely, in time, take away his ablity to run, walk, talk... the list goes on.

Help him make change happen! Vist his website at www.alexflynn.co.uk or make a donation direct to a worthwhile cause at www.justgiving.com/alex-flynn
