Land End To John O'Groats · 19 March 2009

Motor Neurone Disease moves fast. It takes away time, it takes away independence and it has no cure. Every day we support people affected by MND. We fund ground-breaking research. We campaign for better care. We’re here for everyone who needs us. Because with MND, every day matters.

Story

 

On May 10th 2009 Myself and a good friend of mine Neil Fuller will be cycling the length of Britain.

The objective is to ride from Lands End to John O’Groats via the Western Isles on the way.

Total distance for the journey will be between 1200 and 1400 miles. This will mean covering an average of 70 miles per day to complete the distance in 21 days. There will be no support vehicles, all the camping equipment, spares, tools and clothing will be carried on the bikes in panniers.

I will be cycling on behalf of The Motor Neurone Disease Association.

Please lend your support by giving what ever you can spare. No amount is to small.

WE MADE IT!!!

Thanks you all for your incredible generosity.

We had the adventure of a lifetime.

We set of from Lands End on Saturday 10th May 2009 and made it to John O'Groats on Saturday 30th May 2009

Total mileage 1155 this included our detour to the Outer Hebrides.

maximum speed 43.2mph.

Once again thank you for your support

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones.
Degeneration of the motor neurones leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Motor Neurone Disease Association gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Neil is cycling on behalf of The Fire Fighters charity and you can sponsor him via his website
