Young Edinburgh dad was diagnosed with MND after feeling numb pain in finger

An Edinburgh dad who says every day is a blessing, four years after being diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease, is gearing up for his toughest challenge yet.

Davy Zyn was diagnosed with the life-changing illness in 2018 after feeling a number pain in his finger. After years of fundraising and campaigning, the 34-year-old is set to cycle 260 miles across Scotland's highest public roads.

Davy also starred in a documentary going into detail about his condition, with film crews in cars following his journey across the North Coast 500 in 2020. The result, The Ride On, is a documentary with backing from the likes of adventurer, Mark Beaumont, sports hero Chris Hoy and fellow MND warrior and former rugby star Doddie Weir.
