We're not the only ones to be inspired by and, to be honest, humbled by the bravery and tenacity of Rob, his family, Kevin Sinfield and everyone living with MND - so we felt it was time to contribute.

Kevin and Rob exemplify the importance of friendship, so we are doing this together - the many, many miles of training, the tea cake stops and the race itself.

It is also the time of year that Linda always takes on a challenge in memory of Greg. As someone who went through his own long battle with ill-health, and who was buoyed up throughout by the love and support of friends, we hope that he'd approve of this year's effort.

P.S. If the coverage of the event puts more pressure on the Government to release the rest of the promised funding more quickly, that will be another good thing achieved.. 

Please help by donating.

Caroline, Sam and Linda xxx
