NeuroBike. Raising money for La Pitié-Salpêtrière

I have ALS, a form of MND. The Institut du Cerveau are part of my treatment hospital, la Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris. The institute is doing a great job.  I have decided to raise funds to help them perform their work, find new treatments and overcome this daunting disease. I'm nearly 75. I was diagnosed with ALS a year and a half ago. Now I can no longer speak and eating is tricky. I can still ride a bike though. As I haven't managed to get myself enrolled in a research programme I thought I'd fight for the future another way. So I'm cycling . It's a personal challenge. A round-the-town cyclist, I'm now  stepping out on 2800km trip and flipping a bird at ALS. And in the process raising money and awareness for MND. You can also come and ride with me. I'm serious. The more the merrier! "Plus on est de fous, plus on rit" comme on dit en francais. We'll see what tomorrow brings. At the end  of the road I'll probably be a very different person. you can follow my saga on Facebook: Neurobike @neurobikedownthedanube I would greatly appreciate if you could help me in my fundraising efforts by making a donation to Institut du Cerveau or bringing awareness around my fundraising efforts. There are no small donations. Donations are processed through Alvarum. It is very easy and 100% secure. Thank you for your help! Michael Craig Gradwell
