Starting tomorrow, the 14th October I am going to use my passion for cycling to support my friend and former team mate Len Johnrose as he battles Motor Neurone Disease and to help raise awareness for MND. For those of you who don't know, myself and Len stood shoulder to shoulder as team mates during the most fantastic 6 years of our careers.

When I first heard about Len's diagnosis I found it hard to believe. How can this happen to my indestructible midfield partner. I find myself in the fortunate position that having had a great career and be healthy enough to find my buzz through cycling. The Trent Valley 100 (http://sportivehq.com/events-overview/sportive-hq-events/trent-valley-100-sportive-2018/) will be the first of many fundraising events myself, my friends and hopefully some of my former team mates will ride to provide much needed funds to support Len, his family and the MND Association (https://www.mndassociation.org).

With your help we can not only help the Johnrose family, but also help raise much needed awareness for MND and help aid funding for research.

Thank you X
