Story

Hi all,

Thanks for visiting my Just Giving page.

My mate, Troy Watts, has a mild form of Motor Neurone Disease called Kennedy's Disease and I want to raise money to help support the MND Association. They help people with MND enjoy a better present and a more hopeful future.

To help raise the money I'm running through the Sahara for a week covering about 250km (150 miles) - nearly a marathon a day.

I don't want to guilt people into donating so let me dangle this little incentive in front of you in the hope that you'll dig deep.  I'll be running whether you donate or not but it would provide extra motivation to know that you, the people, had paid good money to see me finish. I wouldn't want to let you down! Not only that but it goes without saying that it's all for a great cause.

Donations come through in British Pounds but donations in Aussie Dollars are very do-able and very welcome.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Cheers all,

Shawn
