What is MND?

Motor Neurone Disease is a wasting disease. It attacks the nerves that control movement in different parts of the body. There have been advances in research in recent years which gives hopes that prevention or cure may be found. I am raising funds that will contribute to research and support of sufferers in the Bournemouth area. For more information see MNDA HQ site and the local branch at East Dorset and New Forest MNDA branch. For details of the ride follow this link: Paris to Geneva. This will be in memory of my mother and Ruth's father, both of whom suffered with MND.

I never thought I'd join a gym!

Clearly this is getting serious! For the first time ever I've joined a gym. Having a reduced rate from the EMAP benefits scheme has helped of course. The first few sessions are over - mainly static bike rowing machine.

Had a 30 minute session last evening under the eagle eye of a Personal Trainer. I've never felt as stiff as I do today, but that will improve. Plenty of squats and using muscles that I didn't know about and I'm paying the price today. But if it helps when September comes, it will be worth it.
