My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having seen both my mother and my father-in-law suffer from this debilitating and degenerative disease, I am taking to the road for a second time. London to Paris was completed in September 2010. Now, in September 2012, the plan is to cycle from Paris on to Geneva. This is a tough challenge at over 80 miles per day and the promise of long mountain climbs on the last day. Latest training news on my blog  ...... MNDA Web site. and the local MNDA branch East Dorest and New Forest NDA Web site.

This challenge is much tougher that the previous one. Please give generously. Nothing will be taken out to pay costs (I am paying these myself) - the money all goes to the charity. 50% will be used to support local sufferers and 50% for research.

Conquered a little niggle today. Managed the hill at Langton Matravers for the first time on 2 years. I had to do that to prove to myself that I could still do it.

I'm feeling very pleased! I cracked the 100 mile mark for the first time on Saturday. And I was still standing at the end of it. I wanted to get this one done to prove to myself I could do it. Check the blog ..http://mark-paris2geneva.blogspot.co.uk/
