TONY Neale, the Council’s Head of Finance, will be taking part in a sponsored walk with his wife Julie on 29 June to raise money for the East Grinstead branch of Parkinsons UK.

The walk will take them along an eight mile route by the Seven Sisters (pictured above) and they are looking for sponsors to help support the work of Parkinsons UK and the town club which helps to care for those suffering from the disease.

“I would be very grateful if you could donate a small amount to help fund much-needed research to cure Parkinsons and support for Parkinson sufferers,” said Tony, who is treasurer of the town club.

“You can donate by giving us your donations at East Court but the best and easiest way is simply to click on https://www.justgiving.com/julienealepuk”
