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.

17 days to go ..

Three weeks today I should be at the top of the col de la faucile. There is a fair chance that I'll be a bit out of breath, but we are told that there may be a glimpse of the Matterhorn in the distance. As log as there is not fog, of course. Or rain. Or snow.


What this means is that there are only 16 days until we set of for Paris - 17 days until we start cycling. At the moment, I feel unreasonably relaxed about it. Perhaps reality will hit home soon.
