Signs that cannot be ignored
A firefighter is taking on an epic 500 mile cycling challenge from Blackpool to Paris to raise money and awareness for the Motor Neurones Disease Association.
He will set off from Blackpool Tower on Tuesday, May 23, and and the five-day challenge will finish in Paris on Saturday, May 27. David, who works for Greater Manchester Fire And Rescue Service, will tackle the ride completely solo and will have to carry all of his equipment all of the way.He will also be sleeping on a chair on the ferry meaning that he might not have as much sleep as he would like before heading into France.
"I hope that the weather is kind and the final push will be a big challenge due to not having a cabin on the ferry, so doing I’ll be doing the longest and last leg after sleeping on a ferry chair. It is great to be supporting the MND Association though and I hope to raise a lot of money and awareness for such a great cause."
