Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running 3 half marathons in the autumn in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association and in memory of mam, who we lost to the disease 6 years ago this October and who we miss every day. These will be the Great North Run (Sept 16th), Great Eastern Run (October 14th) and the Birmingham Half (October 21st with a huge 2-mile hill...). I have run lots before but this year my training has gone completely up the creek, so I'm going to have to step up over the summer!

MND is a fatal, degenerative disease that leaves the sufferer unable to walk, talk or swallow - whilst the mind remains unaffected. Trapped. The MNDA supports sufferers and families by providing equipment, support groups and by funding research into the disease in the hope of one day finding a cure. The world needs to be rid of this awful disease - please help me support them the way they supported us, and hopefully lead the way to a world free of MND.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you so much
