I'm attempting to run my first (& ONLY!) Marathon.  I've never wanted to run a marathon before but..... when they announced The Rob Burrow Marathon for Motor Neurone Disease on the weekend my mum turns 70 I knew I had to try.  I just want  to make my mum proud. I can't say I'm looking forward to it but hope I can raise money for MND.  My mum started with symptoms in 2014  and was finally diagnosed in 2018.  She now cant move or talk, struggles to eat and hold  her head up.  She's trapped in a body that doesn't work, it's heartbreaking. Despite this she stays positive & still has her sense of humour, she's amazing. My Dad is doing a fantastic job looking after her, it's effected the whole family. I hope I can get to the finish line and make her proud. Any support is much appreciated.  Research is vital in finding a cure.  

Thank you xxxx

Every penny counts.  £120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed. £230 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year. £500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones. £750 could fund an MND expert researcher for a week. Every penny raised from The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will bring us closer to achieving our ultimate mission; a world free from MND.
