Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On the 8th September Jacqueline & I are going to try our best to cycle around the North coast of Scotland. It will be 518 miles and over 34000 feet of climbing over 7 days. This is the biggest challenge both Jacqueline & I have set ourselves. My reason for wanting to raise funds to support MND Scotland is as many of you know because they helped my dad when he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease 8 years ago. My dad was already in the advanced stages of MND by the time he was diagnosed and sadly died 3 months later in May 2010. In the short time we had with my dad after the diagnosis, MND Scotland were there to offer as much support as they could to make my dad as comfortable as possible and help us all to come to terms with the reality of the diagnosis. As well as the practical help for my dad e.g. providing essential equipment such as a wheelchair etc, MND Scotland provided us with all the advice we needed and were still there after my dad died offering support to me and my family. Apprehensive about whether I have the fitness to do the cycle , it is only a small thing to try and thank MND Scotland for their suppport. Jacqueline has very kindly offered to also cycle to support MND Scotland. Please help us with your sponsers and donations to help others that find themselves in the same situation. One day there may even be a cure for motor neurone disease so please help us in supporting this very good cause.
