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.

Am I fit enough for this?

The first long ride of the year approaches fast! Next Saturday, 21st April - let's just hope that the tanker drivers don't strike and spoil the plans. It will be good to meet up with John, Clare and Alex and cycle round the Fens, starting at Doddington, just outside March and then doing a circular route that is just over 100 miles long.

That's the plan! But we will have to see how it goes. None of us has done that distance so far and I think we are all wondering if this isn't just a bit too much. The trouble is it was my suggestion to get this distance out of the way early in the season and then concentrate on the hills. So I don't have any choice but to give it a go.

So next Monday's post will tell the story!

There have been some more donations received as well so that is encouraging. And, curtesy of some of Rachel's customers, and due to her tenacity, I now have some prizes to use the the Castlepoint event on 28/7/2012 - more details later.

Things are beginning to move. How about some more support on JustGiving ..
