MS Gong virtual ride fundraiser
Glyn Bromige-Avery (staff), is participating this month in the MS Gong ride fundraiser a cause very personal to him.......
"I guess it started about 10 years when one of my workmates was organising a ride to support his best mate who was suffering from MS. I was doing a bit of riding in those days and decided to join and unbeknown to us all it was the start of our 90km MS gong ride journey. There were 6 of us and we all made it and raised $12k for MS research. We all ached the next day but had a Great time and priceless memories. So time to invest in a better bike and we then rode again another two MS gong rides and also did a couple of triathlons.
Now we come to the present and my Cousin Lynneth who was diagnosed with MS a few years ago is participating in a 5km walk in Wales on the 17th October. A very bold step as she walks with the aid of a walking stick and 5 kms for her would be like 500kms to most. I didn’t hesitate to support and sponsor her. Then on Facebook this year MS gong ride was advertised and because of COVID it is virtual and done over a month. So I thought if Lynneth has the tenacity to do the walk the least I could do is dust off my bike and ride again for an amazing charity. Hopefully, this will inspire a few people to support me and help everyone dealing with MS."
Cheers Glyn
