Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

MND Scotland have tasked their supporters to take part in their Fun Run Relay on 21st June 2020, aiming for participants to select a distance, run or walk this distance then add their total to the pot to hopefully cover a combined total of 581 kilometres (361 miles) which is the length of the Scottish mainland, from John O'Groats to the border at Gretna.

As many of you know, my uncle Jim was recently diagnosed with MND and it has obviously had a profound impact on his life. The support he has received from MND Scotland has been phenomenal and, alongside his notorious sense of humour, has played a huge part in his understanding of MND and his approach to accepting his diagnosis.

Jim's mobility has unfortunately already suffered as a result of his condition however he is determined to complete 10k on 21st June. I'll be there to walk with him and offer words of encouragement (and obligatory insults) to help motivate him over the virtual finish line.

If anyone else wants to get involved, it's free to sign up on MND Scotland's website - the more the merrier.

Please help us reach our target for such a brilliant charity.

Thank you,
