Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be taking part in the Barn's Green Half Marathon on Sunday the 30th September raising money for Motor Neurone Disease Association. This charity is one that is really close to home for me because of a very close friend of mine who's mum suffers with Motor Neurone Disease. 

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive condition that damages the nervous system, leaving muscles wasted and weak.  One or two people in every 100,000 will be diagnosed each year.

The exact cause of MND remains a mystery. Damage to the nerves occurs, but why remains unclear. 

For this reason I want to bring awareness to everyone just how serious this disease is. I have seen it for my own eyes and it is heart breaking to see such a young, courageous women suffer with such a horrible disease. 

Not any one disease is worse then the other but this disease is less known unlike others such as Cancer, people don't hear about MND or fully understand it so it doesn't receive the funding it truly deserves and needs to trail cures. 

Please dig deep and give as much as you can, every penny really does count!
