We are cycling 100k from Sydney to Wollongong on the 20th of November to raise funds for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA).

The IMNDA provide vital support to approximately 400 people in Ireland who have motor neurone disease, support that patients and families would otherwise not be able to receive. Over 80 percent of IMNDA income comes from fundraising.

Motor Neurone Disease is a life-changing illness and the IMNDA are dedicated to making each change as smooth as possible for all those directly or indirectly living with it. 

Mark Attride sadly passed away from this disease in 2015 and the IMNDA were a huge support to Mark and his family. Mark was an avid cyclist and it will be great to keep his memory alive while also raising funds for such a great organisation by undertaking this 100 kilometre cycle. All support would be greatly appreciated and all funds raised will be going directly to the IMNDA.

About the charity

The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is the only organisation of its kind in the country providing specialised services to families affected by this terminal condition. The Association cannot slow the progression of MND or change the outcome but we can alleviate the feelings of isolation and frustration. We offer consistent support to approximately 400 families across Ireland who otherwise would have nowhere else to turn. Everybody with MND has different needs at different stages of their journey and we are here to help and guide them every step of the way. The services provided by the IMNDA are immediate and free of charge for everyone registered with the Association. Key services include: • Access to 4 outreach nurses directly employed by the IMNDA and funded entirely by donations. • Access to a home care grant. • Access to specialised equipment on loan (e.g. wheelchairs, hoists, communication aids etc). • Access to funding towards counselling sessions for the person with MND and family members. Your support is absolutely vital. More than 86% of our income comes from fundraising and donations.
