Story

Raising vital funds for the Irish Motor Neuron Disease Association, in Ruth's memory.

On July 7th I'll begin cycling from my home in Meath over to London (roughly 550km) in order to raise essential funds for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association. 

I'll be cycling in solidarity with Alisdair Anderson who is currently on an incredible 2,750km trip to Nerja, Spain in memory of our friend Ruth Staines. 

Alisdair showed the utmost of care, compassion and dedication during the last year of Ruth's life, his story is one I urge you to read and support.

Everything raised on the cycle goes directly to IMNDA which provides necessary home care nursing, equipment, and counselling for those living with Motor Neurone Disease.

I've never taken on anything like this before but I'm really looking forward to the challenge. 

I'll post any training and updates so please get involved, any donations are hugely appreciated.

Thanks, Diarmuid x

About the charity

The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is the only organisation of its kind in the country providing specialised services to families affected by this terminal condition. The Association cannot slow the progression of MND or change the outcome but we can alleviate the feelings of isolation and frustration. We offer consistent support to approximately 400 families across Ireland who otherwise would have nowhere else to turn. Everybody with MND has different needs at different stages of their journey and we are here to help and guide them every step of the way. The services provided by the IMNDA are immediate and free of charge for everyone registered with the Association. Key services include: • Access to 4 outreach nurses directly employed by the IMNDA and funded entirely by donations. • Access to a home care grant. • Access to specialised equipment on loan (e.g. wheelchairs, hoists, communication aids etc). • Access to funding towards counselling sessions for the person with MND and family members. Your support is absolutely vital. More than 86% of our income comes from fundraising and donations.
