Ride For MND 2008 - Saturday - Amsterdam to Hoek Van Holland

Our mate Duncan has recently been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. MND is a debilitating neurological condition that affects nerves that control voluntary muscles. They gradually stop working until the body stops functioning - while the mind is still active. MND has a prognosis of two to five years, and kills five people a day in the UK alone. There is no cure.

Rather than sitting still, Duncan's decided to do something about it. A crew of friends and supporters from all around the globe cycled from Vondelpark (Amsterdam) to Victoria Park (London) to get out there, get active, enjoy the ride and most importantly raise funds for MND research to help those diagnosed with MND in the future. You can still help - sponsor a rider or donate directly to an MND charity in your area.
