    Story

    Hi, I have decided to cycle the coast and coast for my close friend Nicola Maull and her family. The route is a tiring 135 miles which I expect will take 10 hours to complete, but it will be worth it. Nicola is one the most fun loving, generous and kind hearted person I know. Nic has now been poorly for almost a year.

    Initially Nic felt tingling in her legs, this worsened and Nic started to collapse with no warning at all, her GP told her to take herself off to A&E. Eventually she had an MRI scan and was later recalled to hospital. As Steve (her partner) drove her to hospital she began to lose the feeling in her legs then arms, by the time they reached the hospital she was so poorly and needed a tracheostomy due to respiratory problems. Almost a year later and many tests later the doctors are saying she has a disease called NMO. In a nutshell, its a rare auto immune condition that attacks the central nervous system and myelin that protects the spinal cord. The treatments are plasma exchanges, steroids and of course chemo, but as the condition effects each person differently, Nic hasn’t responded to the usual treatments. Due to the inflammation of the central nervous system it causes brain stem swelling which causes respiratory problems. Relapses can happen any time and are unpredictable and can lead to further disablement and paralysis (which has happened in Nic's case). Nicola has now been parted from her partner Steve and her 9 year old, Niall for 11months.

    Hopefully with the help of donations and other charity events she will be able to come home where she belongs, but will need 24 hour care as she can stop breathing at any time.

    The money will pay the many adaptations the house needs as well as the care Nic needs. So please sponsors me.
