Dear Friends,

Last year, I lost a dear friend and colleague, Ramesh, who passed away just 10 months after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). He was 61, and had just begun pursuing his lifelong dream of acting when this cruel disease took him from us far too soon.

Sadly, this year, someone else very close to me has received the same heartbreaking diagnosis.

MND is a devastating illness that currently has no cure, and its impact is profound, not only on those diagnosed but also on their families and loved ones.

In October, I will be running the Royal Half Marathon to raise both awareness and funds. These contributions will go directly towards supporting MND patients and their families, as well as funding vital research that brings us closer to finding a cure.

Your support, no matter the amount, would mean the world to me and to all those affected by this relentless disease. Together, we can make a difference.

Thank you.
