At no point was the idea raised by anyone other than myself.
The money was much appreciated, as was the publicity, which resulted in us reaching new people who have Parkinson's.

Quite a different scenario and I'm glad that the money helped you, just as the people in question in Rishton are grateful for their grant, but I've seen some shocking jerrymandering of events over the past 12 months to realise that nothing is outside the realm of opportunism if there's political gain to be made.
I'm hoping against hope that tonight will be an exception.
