Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am glad to announce that this May, I am going to run the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon.

As when I ran 17km uphill last year, I am doing this to raise money to fight Motor Neurone Disease or MND, as that is the illness that took my Mother from my family in 2009. MND is an illness that traps its victim in their own body, leaving their mind as sharp as ever but their body unable to move. Raising money for research and to help people living with this illnes through sport and movement is the way that comes to me most naturally. 

While you may not want to or be able to contribute financially, I'd like to invite you to run, walk, cycle or swim your own challenge on the same date. As long as you're in movement, you're fighting MND too. And of course, please share this far and wide, as every little helps.

Date: May 14, 2023
Target: 2622GBP
Distance: 26.22 miles
