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.

This has been a fairly standard week on the training front. Just wish we could get rid of the grey cold rainy weather to encourage me out more. But that will come, I'm sure.

in the meantime, the sponsorship total is creeping up, thanks to some generous contributions this week and the total of money in now stands a little short of £500.

I have just come across a web blog maintained by another lady with MND who has continued to paint, even though she has lost the use of her hands, using Tobii PCEye. It just emphasises how positive people are in the face of the difficulties. Sarah's paintings. Once again, it illustrates one of the reasons that I am taking on this challenge. Money raised will go to help support people like Sarah as life becomes more difficult, sometimes slowly, sometimes very quickly.

Please sponsor me - every pound will help out.
