Mr Gibson said: “We are committed to breaking this Guinness World Record for Challenging MND.

"Being on a pedalo for 13 or 14 hours a day will be tough but I can’t wait.

"We have been training hard and are confident that we can complete the 128 miles faster than anyone before us and raise over £10,000 for charity.”
