West of England MS Therapy Centre
A 65 year old retired policeman and his daughter who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 13 years ago may not be your ideal team for a marathon in this Olympic year.
Surprisingly, to many people, Bob and Jenni Buck are planning a personal epic of over 1,100 miles. They are both experienced and dedicated cyclists and fundraisers.
In June 2012 this team from Pill, North Somerset, will set out to cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats raising funds for the West of England MS Therapy Centre. Originally located in Nailsea, North Somerset the Centre moves to new premises in South Gloucestershire in January 2012. The current running costs are £7,000 every week. Completely reliant on donations and public support this facility offers a wide range of support and services to those diagnosed with MS. Jenni regularly takes advantage of the high-pressure oxygen treatment which is very effective in relieving symptoms.
