Hello there. 

It's that time again where I embark on a bonkers running challenge in order to raise money for a worthy cause.

So Why?

1. Why the Marathon?

I think being able to run 26 miles is crazy and impressive. Since I was 21 I have had it on my bucket list to achieve before I am 30. I'll be 28 for next year's event.

2. Why MNDA?

As some of you may know, my dear Uncle was diagnosed with this horrific illness around a year ago. Thankfully at the moment he is still able to play the piano (he is a terrific pianist) and play with his beautiful grandson, Korey. They live far away from us so I feel utterly helpless in being able to support my family through this horrible time, but what I can do is run and raise money and help the group that have already been a huge support for my Uncle and his family.

3. Why so much money?

I have been lucky enough to secure a Golden Bond Charity place with the Motor Neurone Disease Association. This means I do not have to enter the public ballot and I am guaranteed a place, and for this privilege I promise to raise a grand total of £2,500.

The money I raise also covers the cost to the charity of securing Golden Bond places, a total of £330. Everything else I raise goes directly to MNDA 

As well as regular donations I plan to put on various events, bake cakes and generally generate some fun opportunities for you to join in and donate money whilst also getting something in return.

Its a big target and myself, my family and anyone affected by Motor Neurone Disease value your support.

Don't forget to add gift aid.

Lots of love
