I will donate my brain to science to help find a cure for Parkinson's

CLARK: OUR MOST PRECIOUS THING IS GREATEST GIFT TO OFFER

- MIKE WALTERS

VOICE of darts Dave Clark will donate his brain to medical science – to help find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.

The Sky Sports presenter was diagnosed with the soul-destroying neurological condition in 2011, but he has carried on as the frontman for their award-winning PDC World Championship and Premier League coverage.

Later this year, Clark will walk the length of Hadrian’s Wall and, astonishingly, will participate in the Mount Everest expedition to base camp at 17,000ft, to raise funds for Parkinson’s UK. He has generated £500,000 towards the charity’s work – but vital research to find a cure could be at risk because of public uncertainty around donation of brains.

According to figures released today by Parkinson’s UK, 78 per cent of adults are unaware the NHS organ donor register does not include the brain.
