A superfit Scot whose family had the 'fabric of their lives' ripped open after he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease is aiming to be the first to cycle the 'UK's hardest ride'.
Davy, from Edinburgh, has been fundraising for charity since being diagnosed with the terminal disease in 2018 after a snowboarding trip to Canada the previous year. The 34-year-old first noticed his thumb had gone numb on the trip, but mistook it for a cold or old skateboarding injury.
After seeking treatment on his return home, Davy was eventually diagnosed with MND - a condition that affects the nerves and brain. But wallowing in despair was no option for determined Davy who vowed to 'live life to the full' and 'make every moment count'.
