13783/5GAZETTE & HERALD: PARKINSON'S Disease sufferer Stephen Waite took a high-speed ride around Castle Combe Racing Circuit to help raise funds for research into the illness.
Building consultant and grandfather-of-three, Mr Waite, 60, of Malmesbury Road, Chippenham, is currently undergoing a pioneering surgical drug trial for Parkinson's disease at Frenchay Hospital.
On Saturday, he joined thousands of racing enthusiasts from around the country for a Classic Car Race Day at the track, proceeds from which went to the Parkinson's Disease Society (PDS).
Mr Waite was one of five Parkinson's disease sufferers invited in 2001 to enter a new treatment programme, designed to regenerate brain cells damaged by the disease.
Results published last year have shown that 54 per cent of Mr Waite's symptoms have been eradicated.
