Charity thanks fans and stalwart

The season ticket holder and Parkinson's sufferer is pictured collecting at the The Belmont this season, his most recent matchday efforts raising approximately £60 from generous Oystermen fans.

Parkinson's UK Canterbury & District Branch spokeswoman Janice Bushell said: "Please pass on our thanks to all at Whitstable Football Club for having the collection. As you are aware all donations are very gratefully received."

Proud Whitstable Town chairman Gary Johnson said everybody at the club was only too pleased to support the fan's fundraising efforts for their local charity.

Johnson said: "It's great of our fans to give something back. We are always pleased to be involved in community initiatives and especially pleased that we were able to support Malcolm.

"He is a great example to those that suffer from Parkinson's as he always attends our home fixtures as well as many of the away ones that he can get to too."

Parkinson's UK has been working for more than 40 years to find a cure and improve the lives of everyone affected by the disease. For more information visit: www.parkinsons.org.uk.
