I can't believe that it is 4 years, nearly to the day, that my amazing husband, soul mate and incredible Dad to my 3 boys, died after living with MND for 7 years. If you were fortunate to know him, you will remember his warm smile, his lovely sense of humour, his passion for West Ham, his wise words (he always knew what to do and what to say), his unshakable faith in Jesus and his incredible memory for dates.

If you would like sponsor me and you knew him, perhaps you could write in the comment something brief that you remember about him.

Back in 2013, when Andy was diagnosed, it really was quite an unknown condition, however thanks to Doddie Weir, Rob Burrow and others, awareness is so much higher at the moment. There is still, however, no cure and it is only a matter of time (& money) before they find one. This is the reason I am doing this (ridiculous!) challenge.

So what is this challenge? .... Well, I'm joining the 5000 squats in November for MNDA challenge. which is basically as it says. It's 166 squats per day, so if you see me I may be bopping up and down beside you... you are welcome to join in... or even join the challenge and get a t shirt! I'm hoping that this will do wonders for my fitness too.

Thank you so much to those I know who have already sponsored me in the past in 2020 when I raised money for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. I don't expect any further donations from you, but instead (or as well as if you want!!), I'd love you to forward this onto a few people who I don't know to widen the net.

Thanks so much for reading my story - I hope that one day we will be free of MND.
