Your post here led me to read the Alaska post from start to finish - what a great read! It made me feel like I knew rustygates and all his family!
I then also became concerned that there were no more posts for a while and went googling for news. After a while I ended up here:

I really hope he gets that off road scooter to complete the walk.

Done :thumb2
Cedwyn hasn't been here for almost a month. I have renewed his subs for another year and modified his settings so if anyone PMs him he will receive an email.... maybe he will pop in and give us an update.

Nice one Bat, sure he will really appreciate the link, but we have to realise he may not be able to respond, but I sincerely hope he can, Rick

Sorry but I am not sure what is actually going on here, the donations to the link, go to the general MND charity, but what we need to do here is contribute to his off road wheel chair, am I not right? forgive me if I have it wrong, I am just a simple guy,Rick

yeah I thought it was for his off road wheelchair too
Apologies if my post confused or misled anyone. My comment was just in response to this paragraph on the Just Giving page:
"Requests have been made for an off-road mobility scooter that if granted could see Cedwyn complete the walk with the team by wheel instead of foot – this would be a remarkable achievement in itself."

Overwhelmed
Hi all, I am overwhelmed by your generousity at this time, this disease knows no bounds, I am able to stand with the aid of two carers and a zimmer but that to me is amazing and only made possible by the work done with physio and hydrotherapy ,stretching my now ever decreasing muscles, tne disease has started to effect shoulder muscles but my forearms are ok.My niece Lauren has organised a walk from Monmouth to Chepstow which is the last 30mls of the Offa's Dyke Path, which as yet not completed, and the is called "Never Known To Fail",which has always been my motto, mainly for family and friends, or anyone for that matter with the donations going to the MND society who are struggling tokeep up with the larger well known charities, MND is quite rare about 1 in 1000 people and no reason why but usually active people. It will be12 months on the 21st Dec ( my birthday ) that I had the flu and 10 days later, getting up in Jan with beginning of MND, My Border Collie Mac and I had walked 100's of miles but sadly he died 3 weeks ago aged 13, he seemed to know of my ailment has would liickk my legs to try and stimulate them when I fell over. As for the generous offer for the off road mobility scooter I was thinking of hiring one for the duration of the walk, anything else would be a unbeliveable.
PS Any questions you need answering please contact me

Still Overwhelmed
Thank you again,
Mac was my walking partner for over 12yrs, he and I walked all over the UK long and short paths, there was one time on Dartmoor and it was a lovely day and suddenly the fog came down and I could not see a foot in front of me, totally disorientated, I decided to stay put until the fog lifted, but an hour later still no change, then MAC got up started walking around and I followed and what seemed like ages, finally got me to a lane and to were I had left the Terrano, I know I should have a compass but it was a beautiful day ( big mistake ) . So MAC will be finishing the walk in the form of his ashes in his casket after his cremation.
PS I will reimburse the subs for this year x

This is not just a club it is a community, and while we may not be able to fund the direct purchase of an off road scooter, I guess this would be fairly expensive, but I am sure we will be able to fund the hire of one for the duration, my heart goes out to you and I am sure many others on here feel the same, so come on members lets get this sorted, Rick
