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?

    Glad to see your video is ‘touchable’ Keith, that’s some weird technology you’ve used there!

    Ah ha, So its not a set of stamps. I was hoping it was going to be one of those HUGE stamps the riders got presented with to stand beside their gold post box 👿

    First Day Cover is a commemorative envelope the Royal Mail issue with each new set of stamps, postmarked the day they were issued (hence the name) :B

    Sometimes restricted to a certain number, hence the limited edition. My mum started me off on a collection in the mid-70s, then I discovered punk and she gave up…

    Dani King signed FDC bound to appeal to a collector.

    I think so, every gold medallist got a stamp, I don’t know whats limited edition about it though.

    [quote]Dear Keith,

    Thank you very much for your letter.

    We have seen your video, it is very touchable… So the management of the team decided to sent to you some materials, that left from this season.

    Could you be so kind to send your home address, in order we would be able to send the material to you.

    With our kindest regards,

    Eh? I posted “drum roll…” inside some pointy brackets, referring to the suspense. Maybe funny formatting killed it.
