Duncan Booth was a keen mountaineer before being diagnosed with MS 7 years ago at the age of 39.
Duncan was the inspiration behind his wife’s 10 in 10 mountain challenge, which his wife Yvonne created to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society, to help find a cure for the condition.
The couple’s determination to create a better future for MS sufferers resulted in an annual challenge, tackling ten mountains in ten hours, which both they and hundreds of fellow, sponsored supporters, first took on in 2011.
In 2017 Duncan challenged himself further: cycling 1,200km to Gothenburg for his cousin’s wedding earlier this month, with ten of the twelve travelling days cycling. He aimed to raise £2,000 by setting off on his Cyclotricity e-bike on 25th June from his home town in Keswick. Duncan’s JustGiving page has since surpassed £6,000.
