Phil's John O'Groats to Lands End (without leaving the house) challenge

John O'Groats to Lands End (without leaving the house) · 30 September 2021
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Since I was diagnosed as suffering from MND early 2020 my balance has deteriorated as my muscles weaken. To get aerobic exercise when I can't run or even walk fast now my physiotherapist suggested a recumbent exercise bike. Cycling has never been my 'thing' but it allows me to get the heart racing and some calories burnt.
I plan to try and cycle the equivalent distance of John O'Groats to Lands End {downhill 😂 } on this bike. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find an app which covers the route with video and gradients from which I can do a bit every day. Therefore I will be cycling the same distance but using prepared routes from all over the world of a similar gradient and type.
The distance is around 946 miles and, starting in October 2021, I am hoping to get to Lands End by Easter 2022. Keep checking Facebook for progress and examples of the chosen route for each day. The app I am using has graded routes videoed from all around the world and of all grades. One day I could be in Finland around a lake, the next climbing through hills of Las Palmas or forest trails in Canada. Never very fast, but doing my best while I still can.
All support, whilst I do this, will go to research so that one day soon those words "you have MND" will not be a death sentence.........
Please Sponsor me to support the MNDA. 2p per mile would brilliant 👍 - any contributions are gratefully received.
Thank you
Phil
