Story

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday 14 May 2023, I will be running (walking, if I have to) the Rob Burrows Leeds Half Marathon to raise much needed funds and raise awareness of the amazing work that Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) do.

MND is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease which leads to the weakness and wasting of muscles that causes the increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing. The disease affects 5,000 adults and kills six people per day in the UK(www.mndassociation.org/about-mnd).

After receiving my own diagnosis in May 2022, I have became acutely aware of how the services provided by MNDA are much needed and valued. Please donate whatever you can through JustGiving - it's simple, fast and totally secure - they'll send your money directly to the charity.

In my own personal battle, I know MND will win in the end, but not today! While I physically can, I want to 'pay it forward' by raising funds to support MNDA in all they do to help sufferers of this cruel disease and their carers.
