Thank you to all those who have supported us before in our fund raising efforts from purchasing out t-shirts, sponsorsing our kids walks our walks across the sea and my husbads most recent efforts with his colleagues cycling home from Qatar. We are at it again! This time me and my husband Matt, are running The Great North Run 2023. This will personally be my first time running such a distance and as always we will be doing this for my mum, for the sufferers past and present and all their families whom have been affected by this horrendous disease. 

Motor neurone disease happens when cells in the brain and nerves, called motor neurones, gradually stop working. It's not known why this happens. Motor Neurone Disease has NO CURE! Only treatments such as speach and physio therapy and some medicines to slow down a person slowly deteriorating to only eventually be trapped in their own body. For those who have watched their loved ones go through this, it is something that you cannot ever forget only with loss and the resounding feeling of helplessnes and anger. The only help for sufferers is technology and equipment that is made available to help them continue to function in their day to day eg text to speach technology, hoists, wheelchairs. Without these my mum would not have been able to continue being a mum and Grandma for as long as she did. She had this all provided through the charity, with YOUR DONATIONS you can help other sufferers and their families enjoy the time they have with family and friends in comfort. 

In hard times I fear we are asking for a lot however, if enough people donate what they can however big or small WE can reach the target set.

Thank you, thank you. THANK YOU x

We'll be alright xx
