Earlier this year Mark (our singer/sax/guitarist) lost my Brother-in-Law to Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Within 12 months of the diagnosis he was just a shell of his former self and shortly after passed away. Watching the progression of this horrific disease on a beloved, close member of your family, knowing there was absolutely nothing that could be done to pause or reverse the march of MND was heart breaking for us all.
Mark wanted to build on the fabulous awareness campaigns brought to the public eye by Rob Burrow, Marcus Stewart and hundreds of others like him and contribute to the effort in his own way. In a bid to raise awareness and raise funds, Mark & Ian(our keyboardist) are going to cycle from Lands End to John O Groats, but with a adding a unique twist!
They aim to perform a free gig each night after cycling all day in music venues along there 1000 mile route - that's 14 days cycling, and 14 nights gigging. Unfortunately Karl (Bassist) and Ant (Drummer) can't make the trip so they will be substituted for a backing track, otherwise all the fab Tundra tunes will be on the set list.
To help us with this challenge, they are going to be supported en route by our our Lead Guitarist Guy, who will also be driving our support vehicle. They plan to use their musical skill set to perform each night at local venues for free to promote awareness of MND and to generate additional donations from the venue and listening public.
Please support us by donating and by sponsoring us your money will help people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the MND Association. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure, your details are safe.
Thank you for your support,
Mark, Ian & Guy
