Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having followed Doddie Weir's  journey raising awareness of the crippling effects of MND not only on him and his family, but to other families affected by this condition, I just wanted to do something positive to raise funds to help with both research into the causes of the condition to hopefully find a cure, and also to assist individuals and families affected day by day.

MND affects the brain and nerves causing weakness which increases over time.
Currently there is no cure for MND but there are treatments  to help reduce the impact it has on a person's life.

This condition is not restricted to rugby or football players, although through  their media profile they raise awareness of the condition. Anyone could be diagnosed with MND and life expectancy following diagnosis can, in some instances, be as short as 2-3 years.

I'm not up to Kevin Sinfield's 7 marathons in 7 days fundraising challenge, but a mighty stride of 22 miles in one day should hopefully be a challenge I can achieve. However this compares to nothing that sufferers of MND face each and every day.

Please donate through this fundraising page and help those suffering from this crippling condition.
