After being struck down with the terrible condition, Guillain-Barré syndrome, leaving me temporarily paralysed, in both my arms and legs, I was lucky to recover so quickly and well. Christmas 2017 I could not even walk to the toilet without support and assistance. After 6 weeks, of pushing my body and mind, I am back to my feet again. But some are not so lucky. This condition can lead to months in Intensive Care, and to spend years rebuilding your life from a wheelchair.

For this reason I have set myself a goal top complete the 100 mile cycle ride around London, to help raise awareness of this condition and help GAIN support more people who suffer from this condition.

Thank you for your support,  and here is some more information on the charity GAIN

Some who Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare autoimmune condition affecting the peripheral nervous system, usually leading to temporary or long-term paralysis. Around 80% of those with GBS will make a good recovery, but between 5-10% of people will not survive and the other 10-15% may be left with severe mobility or dexterity issues. GAIN helps people understand and manage both acute and chronic variants of the syndrome, raises awareness, and promotes clinical and non-clinical research into these conditions.
