Clarky Launches "March For A Cure"

Dave Clark (Lawrence Lustig, PDC)

SKY SPORTS presenter Dave Clark is to undertake a second fundraising walk for Parkinson's UK, as he takes on the 85-mile Dales Way challenge in September 2018.

Dave helped to raise over £200,000 for Parkinson's UK in 2016, with his Coast-to-Coast walk seeing him trek for a fortnight across from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire.

He will now embark on another fundraising challenge, heading on the Dales Way walk from his home town of Ilkley to Bowness-on-Windermere from September 9-14.

Writing about his #MarchForACure on JustGiving, Dave said: "As my Parkinson's symptoms inevitably worsen, walking is becoming increasingly difficult. Every step is precious.

"I've decided to walk the Dalesway. 85 miles, over 6 days from my home town of Ilkley in West Yorkshire to the Lake District.

Please sponsor me if you're able, or maybe join me for a few steps in my march for a cure."
