Established 1893, Bristol South CC is one of Bristol's oldest cycling clubs. Keen to give something back to the community, every year the club runs a Charity Ride designed to raise funds for a cause with particular resonance amongst its members.

This year, I have had the privilege nominating the MS Society.

So here's my quick two-pence worth.

I was diagnosed with MS a couple of years ago. Quite frankly, it's a bit of a pain.

Since then, I have had to lean heavily on the help, research and advice of non-charitable organisations.

Several examples spring to mind, but I am raising money for the MS Society, impressed by their involvement in research and trials, as well as they political weight which makes them well placed to influence change.
