307 Miles For Charity
Sunday April 18, 2010
At the beginning of 2010 I was keen to make the most of the year ahead and to get out and spend more time on my bikes. I began to plan a number of rides and challenges, from short local rides to longer more intense ‘journeys’.
One of the major journeys I was planning was to cycle from my home in Rochester, Kent, to my parents’ home in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire – a distance in excess of 300 miles (483km). Then I began thinking a little more about it…
In the latter half of 2009 my father was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones. I didn’t know much about the disease so thought I’d take a look around. Then I found the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA), a registered charity, which supports sufferers and families in addition to funding awareness and research programmes.
So, with that in mind, I decided to cycle the 300+ miles and raise money for the MNDA at the same time…
