Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page
So - what's this all about then? Well, 8 of us all aged 43 to
51 decided to ride (off road) London to Paris in September 2013, around 250
miles approx while raising funds, and just as importantly, awareness, for the
MND association.
This was inspired by our friend Steve-he was diagnosed with
MND back in 2007, and did a cycle himself for the same charity back in 2008-
details of that ride can be seen at steveevans.co.uk
Sadly Steve's condition is such that he can no longer join us
- he would love to be able to. You can find out a little more about how MND
affects every moment of Steve's life now in this short film he made for MNDA,
and also in Steve's own blog.
Do please take a look at these- this page is not only about
raising money, although of course that remains important- the more people are
aware of this horrible disease and how it affects people, the better.
Next, the money bit - I can assure you that donating through JustGiving is
simple, fast and secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to
the charity. So please dig deep and donate now.
Thank you,

HI Steve,
We've been trying to get behind Phil's impressive push to raise cash
Its been a long time since we caught up (curry in London Bridge a good few years back) and whilst I get updates from Phil - I have only recently read your blog.
I just wanted to drop you a line to say that I find your writing, humour and honesty to be an inspiration. Its a real eye-opener into the challenges you face, and great to hear your updates
WIll be thinking of you on the bike ride (follow our progress live on twitter @zoldano - I have a few MNDA people as followers now) and I'm sure there will be a drink or two to absent friends along the way.
Cheers
Adam
Steve, your updates are fast and furious at the moment. (Though not as furious as some in the past!) It must be the great weather. I hope you get decent weather for goodwood. Just seen the photo on the last blog. Your goatee is amazing. Really gorgeous. Nice one mate.
