Story
We have decided to take upon the challenge to climb the Welsh 3 peaks while cycling the distances in between them. Aaron, Jamie, Richard & Sean are raising money for the amazing work and care that Ty Olwen do, while also raising awareness for Motor Neurone Disease. Ty Olwen Hospice requires funding from Charity work to be able to continue. Our friend Kristian who we sadly lost, received some outstanding care during his time at the hospice and we would like this service to continue for other patients in the future.
Motor neurone disease (MND) describes a group of diseases that affect the nerves (motor neurones) in the brain and spinal cord that tell your muscles what to do. With MND, messages from these nerves gradually stop reaching the muscles, leading them to weaken, stiffen and waste. This disease has received increase awareness via the ice bucket challenge with Stephen Hawking sadly losing the battle with the disease. This disease is especially close to Richard whose Nan also passed away due to MND.
