Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the MND Association.

As most of you know by now, my Father In Law, Neil Taylor, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease last January. I watched in 2024, as my extended family completed a number of incredible challenges all in order to raise money for this exceptional charity. Now it’s my turn!!

We have been able to meet some incredible people over the last year, and unfortunately had to learn about a disease you wouldn’t wish upon anyone. Personally, I have watched Neil, Holly and the rest of the Taylor family, face 2024 with bravery, stubbornness, determination, and where possible, laughter when creating treasured memories.

Both Holly and myself will be completing Manchester Marathon and the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, separated by only two weeks!! With the possibility of, at minimum, another half marathon in between that. We are also honoured to be part of the team that will be assisting an incredible man called Ian Flatt who is living with MND, complete the Leeds Marathon.

Any donation is welcomed and appreciated.

To try something a little different as well, if you are kind enough to donate, please leave the name of a song that you love (something upbeat please) that I will incorporate into a playlist for Manchester so that whilst running, I can think of you all and smile through the pain!
