I have been wanting to do the Ride 100 for the past few years and was delighted when I luckily received a place in the ballot this year. I have been busy tackling the Surrey hills and Richmond Park as part of my training in the last few months and thought it was a great opportunity to raise awareness of the PCD family support group. 

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is an inherited, relatively rare condition associated with the abnormality of cilia (microscopic hairs that beat in the airways, sweeping secretions out of the respiratory tract). PCD may affect the lungs, nose, sinuses, ears and fertility. I work as a physiologist within the the PCD service at the Royal Brompton Hospital that provides diagnostic and manangement services for PCD. 

The PCD Family Support Group is a registered charity which provides support to parents with PCD and their families. They also help raise awareness of the condition to the medical profession and provide an up-to-date information service.

Thank you for taking time to visit my page, happy cycling!
