My mum Val, who is in the picture above, was diagnosed  with MND in April of 2015. She was told she had 12 to 18 months before her life would end.....12 to 18 months.....it hit us all very hard and as we began looking into the diagnosis we saw more and more that there's nothing - there's no cure - there's options to fundraise but not much else. Myself and My cousin Martin had recently started mountain biking. We knew then that we could utilise our new hobby for something good that could make a difference.

It is now January of 2017 and she is still here with us, but lives her life in a wheel chair, she can no longer speak, move or do anything she used to love. 

Me (Jonathan), Martin, Andy and Stuart are riding 214 km on mountain bikes across the country to raise money for MND. We will be riding through the lakes,over the pennines and the moors. From Ravenglass to Robin hoods bay. The ride will be over 5 days (23rd June to 27th). The ride is 90% off road with over 8000 meters of climbing! to put it into perspective That's at least 1500-2000 meters a day, and overall we will be essentially CLIMBING MOUNT EVEREST We will be riding around 8 to 12 hours a day, maybe even longer if things don't go to plan!

All money raised will go directly to MNDA and all our food, travel, sleeping arrangements and clothing will be paid for by us - although we will be grateful if anyone wanted to sponsor us for those too.

Please help us reach our £1000 target! 

Thank you.
