Inspired by so many other amazing people doing crazy runs and challenges recently, Naomi and I have had a quarter life crisis and decided to run the Cardiff Half Marathon in October for Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).

Although I try to run a couple of times a week (#iloveparkrun) and play netball, I personally have never run non-stop over 10km so this will be a huge challenge for me both physically and mentally.

Naomi and I chose to fundraise for MNDA as a beautiful close family friend of ours recently passed away from horrible condition and by taking part in this challenges, we'd love to do everything and anything we can to raise money to help find a cure and support those with this disease.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting.

MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. However, not all symptoms necessarily happen to everyone and it is unlikely they will all develop at the same time, or in any specific order.

Although there is currently no cure for MND, symptoms can be managed to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

We need your support.

£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed

£280 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year

£500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones

Please consider donating and/or sharing, it would mean the world to us! Thank you so much! 🥰
