Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA). The MNDA focus on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

I am supporting the MNDA for my biological mother, Angela, who has recently been diagnosed with MND. I want to do everything I can to support this charity (MNDA), Angela and many other people affected by this disease. Together we can and will find a cure for this horrible disease. Our vision is a world free from MND.

I am taking on two challenges this May. Yes you heard me correctly, two challenges:

Challenge 1: Great Birmingham Run - Sunday 4th May (Half Marathon)

Challenge 2: 100km Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge - Saturday 17th May

Here are some MND Facts:

MND is a fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord.

MND kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis.

Six people are diagnosed with MND every day.

MND attacks the nerves that control movement so muscles no longer work.

Over 80% of people with MND will have communication difficulties, including a complete loss of voice.

Around 50% of people with MND experience some form of cognitive change.

MND affects people from ALL backgrounds
