Dr Jonathan White is marking his ninth year since being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis by undertaking the 600 mile cycle
A man from Belfast is cycling 600 miles as part of a fundraising campaign for an MS charity he said gave him a "beacon of hope."
Speaking to Belfast Live about his MS diagnosis, Jonathan said: "It was almost exactly nine years ago. I was working in a busy antenatal clinic in Belfast at the time, and I just thought my left eye felt sore as if I'd been bruised or hit. "They put me into the MRI scanner and I had inflammatory lesions in my brain and spinal cord. A couple of scans and a few months later I got the formal diagnosis of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis."
"Overcoming MS gave me a path to follow, it gave me a new career, my community and some of my dearest friends. It has literally saved my life and I want to do whatever I can in any small way to give back."
