Thanks for checking this out!
Since Jenni my daughter was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1998 she has remained remarkably fit, but she does get very tired.
The West of England MS Therapy Centre has been tremendous. Jenni visits there for oxygen treatment which helps; so does cycling.
Jen uses the bike for shopping and we often go out together. A ride of 50 miles is routine and we’ve done a number of sponsored rides.
We are riding from Land's End to John O'Groats in June.
Add to that the fact that I am officially an OAP now and you can see
that this is a mighty challenge!
that this is a mighty challenge!
Jenni is a fighter, despite her condition which means that she can only work part-time, she refuses to allow it to stop her achieving.
She is determined to complete this challenge, which is bigger than anything either of us has ever done.
It will undoubtedly be hard to ride so many miles for so many days but she is resolute.
What she says is "I've seen loads of people cycling Land's End to John O'Groats, one team had sight-impaired people on the back of tandems, but what really made me decide that I could do it was when I met a 63 year old woman doing it alone."
Another big factor is the tremendous support and encouragement we have already received. We are getting extraordinarily generous donations.
We have to do it now to say "Thank you!" to them.
