LANDS END TO JOHN O GROATS · 4 January 2008

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

(UPDATE 20.10.08) Job done! We did it in 11 days and loved every minute of it. Please keep those donations coming. Thank you! (UPDATE 25.9.08) We are now back on track (although knee is still niggling) and start on Sunday Oct 5th. There has been a slight change of personnel, as John can't make it due to work commitments, but Simon Boswell is riding instead. Our route is all mapped out, so just going to hope for a bit of decent weather now! (UPDATE 10.3.08) Unfortunately due to a knee injury we have had to postpone the trip. We are now hoping to go for it at end of august/early september. Please keep sponsorship coming in - we will get there!! "Yaw saft gits" and "dow do it" were just two of the replies i received when i first announced this latest trip, and although i should really agree with them both, it actually made me even more determined to go for it. Myself and Simon are cycling the 'uphill' route, starting in early April from Lands End and (if we can keep out of the pubs) after doing 100 miles each day for 9 days we should reach our destination at J.O.G. I am raising money for the MNDA as Steve Childs, a committee member of the Split Screen Van Club for nearly 20 years, died of this disease in August '04. He left behind his wife Terry, and 3 children, Matthew, Amanda and Trevor, who are still active members of the SSVC committee. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: the Motor Neurone Disease Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support - Chewie and John (If you would prefer to sponsor me with the good old fashioned sponsor form method, please drop me a line on mbaker@jbarnsleycranes.com)
