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.

2 days to go

Well, that is pretty final. Last night, I packed the bike up in the new bike bag and this morning I took it up to Coombe Bissett to be put on the van heading for Paris.So if I want to see it again, I'll have to go at least as far as Paris to get it back. So there seems no alternative to the original plan to head all the way to Geneva.


And I think I have just about finished what is necessary at work as well with two projects both being completed today. So I am ready for a complete change from the daily routine.


Just a word about the support I have received. It has exceeded all my dreams - thank you to eveyone who has contributed. Today I had another huge surprise and I know that those who will benefit will be so grateful.


Of course, there is always the hope that there might be a few more contributions - perhaps after I get back? One person has asked for photographic proof of completion, with a detailed log of mileage and times etc. I'm hoping to do this and will try to update either facebook or this blog as we go along. But I'll also aim to give fuller details here as soon as possible.


Here is the link to sponsor me.
