Story

***UPDATE: MARATHON COMPLETED 18/07/21*** 

I’ve never liked running. 

In fact, I’ve avoided doing it for most of my life — always preferring to focus on other areas of fitness. 

But when Covid and lockdown hit, I decided to try and commit to something healthy I’d always found difficult. 

Fast forward to Jan 1, 2021 (also my birthday) and I ran my first 1/2 marathon. 

As cliché as it sounds, half the battle is just showing up, day in day out, and I'd like to use my progress to make a difference to those diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. 

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page to raise money for the MND Association. 

By sponsoring me, your money will help people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. 

Every donation is an inspiration for me to train harder and meet my goal of running my first marathon.

Thank you again.
