Five friends (including two twins!) are cycling 500 miles to raise money and awareness for Motor Neuron Disease. Every pound they raise, every pedal we push will go towards finding a cure and raising awareness for people living with this disease. People like Davy Zyw.

Davy and his twin Tommy Zyw, and friends Dan Elswood, Malcolm Holwill & Ryan Brennan are cycling the North Coast 500, attempting it in only 4 days. They are expecting horizontal rain, high-winds, punctures, tears and lot of bananas over the route they will climb the equivalent height of Mount Everest, circumnavigating Scotland’s remote northern coastline. This would be difficult for anyone, let alone someone with MND. Read Davy's story here- https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mnd500

Davy said: "We are proud to be fundraising for My Name'5 Doddie. This charity is doing amazing work, promoting awareness, funding research for a cure with the MND Association & MND Scotland; including the new MND-SMART drug trails which have just started. His charity are helping people like me, and their families to live their best lives."

"No sympathy please, just your money!! Let’s consign MND to the history books."
