Gkam84 needs a trike to ride and help him deal with early Parkinson’s – he’s 28 FFS

    Completely by chance I clicked on Gkan84’s sig, wondering what it was about.

    Turns out he (Keith) is suffering early onset Parkinson’s and is after money to buy himself a recumbent trike so he can keep riding. He’s 28.

    By the look of it he’s only had his fundme page open for a short while. I suspect he’s being polite and not putting a direct link to it himself on the forum just yet?!

    He’s chosen a nice trike to aim for:

    So, first of all wouldn’t hurt to give the Keith a little money would it? I’ve started the pot with a measly tenner, but I figure there’s quite a few of us here for whom a tenner represents just about nothing, so… it’s paypal so use a bit of your ‘bike fund’ like I did!

    Secondly maybe we can find a way of getting something similar second hand or for a discount somewhere?

    You talk about your
    You talk about your depression and lack of confidence, but Raleighs right, the candor with which you discuss those things on here is to be respected. Go back and read that long thread on depression (from maybe a year ago?), I was new here and that was a bit of an eye-opener. It suggested that people here, yourself among them, were as friendly, honest and intelligent as a virtual community could be expected to be.

    I’ve tried recording my own voice and thought it sounded as odd as a lemonade sandwich, but that would apply to any of us.

    Go for it!

    That’s true. I am busy writing the dark bits that I left out of my story for a suicide prevention charity who saw my story.

    I should just make the video and get on with it. Tomorrow’s job, look out a beanie and smile for the camera 🙂

    That’s pretty good.

    AH, I need help…….I’ve been asked to provide a “success story” to go fund me site by the 7th Dec.

    With the chance to win an Ipad Mini and £100 towards my appeal……

    This is it took me a number of weeks to write and publish my story in the first place and there are rules to the story. I must sit and make eye contact with the camera…..blah blah blah.

    Christ, I would love an Ipad mini for the auction…..What do I say. 🙂

    I don’t believe he is a member of the forum either :B

    Used to really enjoy BTCC. Aiello, Leslie in the Nissans, and Rikard Rydell in the Volvo, with Matt Neil gatecrashing as a privateer.

    I met Paul O’Neil a couple of times through a mutual friend. We got to go to the end-of-season party at Donington Park (think this was in 2003 or 2004 – he was driving a Vauxhall Astra works car). Rumours were already flying that Paul wasn’t getting a contract for the following season, he got leathered and somehow his undies ended up hanging off a power cable that was strung overhead while he was still wearing trousers…
