Hi, I'm Grant. I'm 38 and I have a condition called Multi-Focal Motor Neuropathy with Conduction Block, It is a degernative disease that destroys the myelin sheath around the motor neurons and currently stops the muscles in my hands from working properly. Basically my brain sends a signal, but it never gets to my fingers because the wiring has been damaged.There is no known cure for my condition, but I'm very lucky because there is treatment available. In my case I have high-dose intravenous immunogloblin (IvIg) therapy for four days every eight weeks, my doctors tell me that this treatment is a type of chemotherapy. It certainly feels like a kind of chemotherapy, and keeps me off my bicycle for a couple of weeks while I recover. 
I have chosen to support Action Medical Research, not only because they carry out research into several conditions and diseases that are very closely related to mine, namely Motor Neurone Disease and Guillain-Barré Syndrome - but also because they fund research into lots of other different diseases and get results. In July 2005 I cycled a gruelling 300 miles over 4 days from London to Paris with Action Medical Research, and I raised £2,739 to help Action Medical Research fund more research programmes, hopefully they will one 
day provide the funding for whoever finds a cure for Multi-Focal Motor Neuropathy. They have had some other major successes in the past, you may of heard of them - or even benefited - polio vaccine, ultrasound scanning in pregnancy and the hip replacement operation to name just a few.Because of my treatment regime I was unable to ride the London to Paris event in 2006, however, on 7th May I rode the 100 mile Castle Ride around a number of castles in Kent and raised another £200 for Action Medical Research. I also managed to persuade a work colleague to go with me, and he raised well over £300 too. You may think that Kent is fairly flat, well I can tell you it's not. There are no great peaks, but the roadbuilders who made the roads we rode didn't believe in going around hills, no matter how steep they were, the just went straight over them. On 27th August 2006 I rode the Action 100 which was my main event last year, another century ride from Bristol to London. Since the official finish wasn't actually in London, but in Chobham (Surrey) I cycled from the finish to Euston station, which worked out to be another 34 miles because of a detour around Notting Hill Carnival. My total distance for the day turned out to be 143.6 miles. 
Give what you can, and make sure you tick the Gift Aid box, so Action Medical Research can get another 28% back off the tax man.If you are a company and you want to sponsor me by placing your logo, web address and phone number on my clothing email for more details about advertising opportunities.What's Next? After much deliberation, I need to do a ride that is a whole lot more challenging. There is a ride I have in mind called L'Eroica, it's in the hills of Tuscany on a 200km route that is over 50% on dirt track. For the ride to be classed as "heroic" it must be done on a pre-1980 bike wearing period clothing. I will still be raising money for Action Medical Research, but this is not one of their organised events. I do however need a pre-1980 bike to do the ride on, so if anyone out there has one going spare please contact me. Unfortunately it's not going to be possible for me to ride L'Eroica this year, but I will be running the London Marathon, and riding the Action 100 again.

To me there is no point in doing nothing, saving yourself for your old age in the hope that you may prolong your life, what an incredibly dull life that would be. I have a need to experience as much as possible as soon as I can. What a waste it would be if I waited until I was 65 and retired to start living my life, only to get knocked down by a bus or hit by a meteorite. I push myself mentally and physically as hard as I can, sometimes at the same time.I consider it to be very selfish to do events like these, if you are only doing it for yourself. In an ideal world, every challenge I do would be raising money for some charity or other. I don't think it's fair to keep asking the same private individuals to sponsor me over and over again. Major sports equipment and clothing manufacturers would benefit from sponsoring someone like me, an ordinary (well relatively) member of the public, to do these extraordinary challenges and give that money to charity.

Action Medical Research is the UK’s most forward thinking charity. We believe diseases and disabilities can be beaten, and through medical research we are creating a healthier future for everyone. Our work is driven by medical need, and not influenced by politics or swayed by the pressure to be profitable, which means we are free to fund only the best science. Since 1952, when our first research funding paved the way for the ‘sugar cube’ vaccine in the UK which crippled polio, we have been involved in a remarkable breadth of groundbreaking work. All donations are for the registered charity "Action Medical Research", Registered Charity No. 208701. Gift Aid will be claimed where applicable on the balance raised. Donations and registration fees will not be refundable to me, even if I do not participate in, or complete the event. Money will only be refunded to the donor upon written request. All cash and cheques (made payable to Action Medical Research) should be sent to me and not to the charity. var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
