Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Unfortunately due to the uncertainty around foreign travel, we have had to postpone our planned BCA Leeds to Dusseldorf ride once again.

In its place, this year’s event will be based in the UK near Leeds, where the riders will embark on three days cycling in and around Leeds and the Yorkshire Dales.

The new ride will take place on Thursday 9th September, starting at BCA Leeds and finishing on Saturday 11th September.

If you would like to support me and the BCA Team in this challenge I would be most grateful, like many other charities Action for A-T has been significantly impacted by COVID-19 with fundraising events being postponed or cancelled, so we want to raise as much funds as possible for them to continue their great research work.

(“A-T”) is a rare degenerative brain condition that causes many of the same disabling effects as ALS/Motor Neurone's disease only it affects young children. Children are born seeming normal but peak physically around the age of 5 before slowly losing their physical abilities including the ability to walk, talk and even to feed themselves. Mentally they remain unaffected and so they effectively become trapped in a deteriorating body. On top of the severe physical disabilities children with A-T must face, the condition also attacks their immune system. 1 in 3 children with A-T will develop cancer and many will die from lung disease.
More than half will die before they are out of their teens and there is currently no cure.
