When Phil, aged 69, reached his destination, he burst into tears. What an amazing achievement, well done!
A cyclist who has Parkinson's has finished an incredible 380-mile journey for charity. Phil Doyle, who lives in Llanelidan, near Ruthin, thought his cycling days were over when the symptoms of the condition began to take hold.
The team of eight men, and four women, who are all members of Ruthin Cycling Club, have raised over £11,000 for the Wales Air Ambulance so far. Parkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. Approximately 7600 people in Wales have the condition. Phil, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s two and half years ago, got into competitive cycling when he was 16 with the renowned Phoenix Cycling Club. The club has been going for over 100 years and Phil has been a member 53 of them.
