In July 2018, I found out that Emma Moss (Mummy with MND) had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. I, like everyone else was devastated for her and her family and was desperate to support her in any way I could so this year I have been training hard to run the Brighton Marathon (14th April 2019).

I met Emma while teaching at Samuel Whitbread Academy in Shefford, Bedfordshire. At Sam Whit Emma inspired hundreds of students to love learning English as both a teacher and Head of Department. After leaving Sam Whit, Emma went on to be a senior leader in another school, continuing to support students in their love of learning. Now it is my turn to inspire others' to give to this great cause. By raising money for Emma and her family we will be able to financially support them to buy all the necessary equipment to make their lives easier as well create special memories for Veryan.

Please help me to help this very special family. For more information and to show your support, please read through Emma's blogs https://www.facebook.com/Mummy-with-MND.

Thank you for all your support so far, I know all of you will be willing me on as I run the marathon. I can absolutely assure you, I will need all the support I can get.
