Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My Auntie's diagnosis last year was shocking and completely rocked our world given that, at the time, nobody knew too much about it. Even more devastating was researching only to find out that there is currently no cure. 

Jackie was honestly one of the most fun-loving people I've ever known with an infectious smile, laugh, zest for life and passion for everything and everyone around her. Motor Neurone Disease stole her from us cruelly and rapidly just 5 months after diagnosis. 

This run is going to be so tough (especially as I've run out of time to train - oops) but knowing that I'm doing it for Jackie will get me through it. I know for sure she would have been the first person to laugh and tell me I'm crazy and the first to listen with intent and enthusiasm after it was over. I will have a gin and tonic at the finish line for you xxx

I know it is charity season but if you can spare even £1 to help me raise awareness I would be eternally grateful. I can only hope that one day a cure can be found.
