Having not undertaken any form of exercise for 18 years, after hanging up my rugby boots due to a back injury and now with a figure to reflect my lack of exertion, my best men and I thought it would be a fantastic idea to all run the London Marathon together in memory of Sue, who made a killer banoffee pie and is fondly remembered after MND took her life way too soon.

Not one to duck out of a challenge, I have been shopping for trainers and plan to be on the starting line in April. 

If you don't know someone who has had MND it has to be one of the most cruel inflictions and we must find a cure for it. So please dig deep and give what you can and I will do my part and pound the Devon hills and London streets so that I can do her proud. 

Thank you!
