Seventy-year-old motor neurone disease sufferer completes mammoth charity cycle

A group of cyclists from Castleknock in Dublin last week completed a gruelling 660km cycle from Mizen to Malin Head in aid of the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.

Amongst the group undertaking the mammoth six day trek was seventy-year-old Eddie Greene who was diagnosed with the debilitating disease before Christmas last year.

Eddie and ten companions endured lashing rain, howling winds and mountain detours during the journey which saw them cover over 100km on average each day since setting out over the May Bank Holiday weekend.
