Story

Its that time of year again where I dig out my trainers and try to learn how to run again! 7 weeks and counting.. eeeeeek

I've finally got a place through the ballot so I have no crazy fundraising target to meet, so if you have a spare few pounds or pennies to donate they would be much appreciated!! 

As you probably know I lost my dad to MND nearly 5 years ago (time flies) and we as a family have been fundraising ever since. MND is such an awful, awful disease and the fact that 6 people are diagnosed each day breaks my heart. There is currently no cure but the only way to change this is to keep fundraising and one day it will. 

So far the old knee is holding up and Danny has signed up too so as long as I get a better time than him i'll be happy (not that we are competitive). 

Thank you for your continued support. It means the world to me and my dad would be chuffed I'm sure. 

Roll on September..

Love you all, 

Emma xxxxxxx
