Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. 
Both Parmy and myself will be taking part in a bikeride from London to Paris in June this year.   The fact that neither of us have owned a bike in the past 15 years seemed not too important at the time!   The truth is we have long thought about challenging ourselves in order to raise awareness and money for a very worthwhile cause. 
We have decided to do just that for the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association in loving memory of Sukhbinder Kaur Bains.
 
Motor Neurone Disease  is the name given to a group of related diseases affecting the motor neurones (nerve cells) in the brain and spinal cord. As the motor neurones gradually die, the muscles stop working.
In the most common form of the condition muscle weakness starts in hands and arms or feet and legs. In the hands it is noticed as problems with grip, difficulty in opening bottles and dropping things. In the legs it is tiredness, tripping up or difficulty in climbing stairs.
MND does not affect touch, taste, sight, smell or hearing. In the vast majority of cases the intellect remains unaffected. Its cause remains unknown and there is at the moment, no cure.
Put simply people with MND can still think and feel, but their muscles refuse to work.
Life expectancy for most people with MND is just two to five years, and around half will die within 14 months of diagnosis.
