Story

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

When I was deciding which one and only marathon I would ever do was going to be, Rob’s marathon was head and shoulders above the rest. Everyone has been touched by Rob’s story and for me, especially the bond that exists between Rob and Kevin. He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother keeps coming back to me. The friendship bond they have is something I admire greatly.

At the age of 55, after 30+ years of lethargy and abuse of my body, I decided to start running. Now in my 60th year, I really want to have a crack at a marathon. Any support you can give me by sponsoring me and raising money for this very worthy charity would be appreciated beyond words.

The MND Association focus on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. By sponsoring me your money will help people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the MND Association. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure, your details are safe - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Thank you again
