Parkers Estate Agents are proud to have sponsored “What a difference a Dave makes” a cycle ride in aid of raising money for the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance. It was an event very close to Mark Parkers heart with his brother Dave Parker needing the support of the air ambulance on 15th December last year having suffered a heart attack and cardiac arrest whilst out mountain biking with friends. Without the essential service Dave would surely not be here today. Over 60 cyclists aged from 12 - 60 years completed the ride from Broadmayne heading up to Henstridge where the air ambulance is based before returning to Broadmayne covering a massive 64 miles. A second group of hardy mountain bikers made the return trip cross country taking in Dorset’s magical scenery. The event raised over £3000 and gave Dave Parker the chance to say a big thank you to the people who attended to him as well as covering the cost of his crucial flight to Bournemouth Hospital.
