Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

From lazy weekend lie-ins to crack of dawn bike rides. I must be mad! Myself and ten colleagues have decided to inflict a gruelling schedule of cycling 140 miles across the Pennines on 4th October to raise money for MNDA. We are no spring chickens and our cogs need a lot of oiling prior to the event, but hopefully by that date we will be pure lean machines just waiting to spring into action (yeah, right)!

Please help make my pain worthwhile and donate a little for this worthy cause.

There is no cure for MND

The majority of sufferers die within 2-3 years of diagnosis

Most of us are lucky enough to have our health or ailments that we are able to manage. Imagine the opposite, being out of control of your body, your mind being as alert as always and just watching the deterioration of your body control for yourself. Not a nice thought for any of us, but people with MND are faced with this daily and MNDA help them deal with that reality and make the months ahead as tolerable as possible. MNDA rely almost entirely on voluntary donations to provide this support and so need our help. So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Cycle route support/accomodation costs will be funded from the proceeds if participants raise at least £300 each.
