SKY Sports presenter Dave Clark, who lives with Parkinson’s, has helped raise more than £100,000 for the Parkinson’s UK charity after completing the Coast to Coast walk.

The presenter completed the 200 mile hike in 13 days, starting at St Bees in Cumbria and finishing in Robin Hood’s Bay in North Yorkshire on Friday.

He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in January 2011 and is Champion of Walking for Parkinson's UK. In 2016 he secured a fundraising partnership for the charity with the Professional Darts Corporation, which aims to raise £100,000.

Whilst Dave is still able to manage his condition, he wants to show what can be achieved through determination and positive thinking, and to encourage other people with Parkinson’s and members of the public to take on physical challenges, whether that be walking one mile or 200.

Sky committed to doubling every pound raised through donations up to £50,000.

The presenter completed the hike with Sky Sports F1 executive producer Martin Turner, who in 2015 was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

Dave Clark said: “Thirteen days, 200 miles, half-a-million steps, climbed height of Everest and £100,000 for Parkinson's UK. Job done.

“The generosity and kindness shown by so many has been incredible.

"There were mishaps, injuries, exhaustion and much more over the fortnight, but we battled on. In the end all of that was far outweighed by the sense of achievement, the camaraderie and laughter and by so many amazing gestures of support before, during and after the walk.

“When we reached Robin Hood's Bay there was a huge sense of elation, but I was overwhelmed with so many emotions. Looking back it seemed to touch everyone; a tide of positivity from sea to shining sea."
