Motor Neurone Disease Association - 3 Peaks Challenge · 18 September 2011 ·

Motor Neurone Disease moves fast. It takes away time, it takes away independence and it has no cure. Every day we support people affected by MND. We fund ground-breaking research. We campaign for better care. We’re here for everyone who needs us. Because with MND, every day matters.

Story

<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Sometimes its hard to explain why we choose to do something, especially climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 24 hrs -that includes&nbsp;driving in between!- which is a huge challenge for the fit and a scary prospect for me.</span></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: fuchsia; font-size: 11.5pt;">21-22nd August </span></span></strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">(far left date wrong, can't edit)<br /></span><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff; font-size: small;">24 Hrs<br /></span></strong></span></span><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: fuchsia; font-size: 11.5pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">3 Peaks</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">3 Countries</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">480 miles driven </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">4000 vertical meters walked </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">30+miles!!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">5&nbsp;knackered team members</span></strong></span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;waiting for me :)</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">There is&nbsp;motivation to my madness</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: TT20Ft00; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: TT20Ft00; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;">Motor Neurone Disease is a horrid disease that&nbsp;leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing loss of mobility,&nbsp;difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing, before finally robbing you of your life. All this time your brain remains normal!!!&nbsp; MND kills 5 people every day in the UK and leaves people unable to walk, talk or feed themselves. It is fatal with no known cure and kills half of those diagnosed within 14 months.</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;">Last year a very special friend of mine since childhood, Vanessa,&nbsp;lost her mum to MND. Just 6 months from diagnoses Shirley was gone. Vanessa&nbsp;asked we&nbsp;raise money in Shirley&rsquo;s memory, to help&nbsp;gain understanding of&nbsp;this awful illness that degrades its victims before robbing them of life. So we (and 3 other friends) are putting our minds and bodies to the test by&nbsp;taking on&nbsp;the grueling challenge of the 3 peaks.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;">Please donate and support us if you can</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</span></p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
