Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So last night I signed up to the MND Association's new fundraising appeal-Mission 5000. The aim is for as many people as possible to pledge to cover as many miles as they can, with a collective effort to cover 5000 miles in total over the next 5 weeks. I have pledged to cover at least 3 miles (5k) by running, which may not seem like much but for someone that has never run 5k before and gets breathless going upstairs (thanks ashtma) this is quite a challenge for me! I am also aiming to add as many additional miles as I can through my training and through additional walks. 

I am aiming to raise money for the South Yorkshire branch of the MNDA. The money you kindly donate will go directly to support people in South Yorkshire living with this horrendous disease. I have a personal connection with those who volunteer with this branch and I have seen how incredibly hard they work and how dedicated they are to this cause, so I hope I can do my bit to help. 

I know times are very hard for all of us this year with the ongoing Covid situation, especially for charities like the MNDA who rely on donations to continue their vital work, so all donations will be greatly appreciated.

I am also doing this in memory of my boyfriends mum Joan and to others we have lost to this cruel disease.  

I will post updates on here and also on my Facebook page and Instagram page! 

You can visit the South Yorkshire MNDA website here to find out more:  https://www.mndassociation.org/support-and-information/local-support/branches/south-yorkshire-branch/

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thankyou so much once again - wish me luck!!!
