Olympic Motor Neurone Disease Challenge: "Our bodies are going to be in pieces!"
Steve HarrisAvailable for over a year
An ambitious Weymouth sportsman is planning a gruelling Olympic challenge with his partner over the duration of the 2021 Tokyo Games. It's ten years since Stuart Bates lost his much-loved brother and best friend Spencer to motor neurone disease - the pair grew up together in Weymouth. To mark the anniversary, over the course of seventeen days this summer, Stuart and Charlotte Nichols are preparing to take part in all 80 Olympic events - encompassing 49 different sports - to support and raise funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association and its vital research.
