***Most of you know that we sadly lost Fran on 1/3/25. Me, my mum, family and friends are devastated. I'm still in shock and it doesn't feel real to me. My mum has lost her husband and I've lost my best mate.

I'm still running the marathon, I feel its my duty to finish what I started. Its probably even more important to me now after what has happened.

I want to keep pushing and adding to the total we have raised so far. People should be given a chance to fight this disease. Thankyou. ***

Hello everyone. I've decided to run the Rob Burrow Leeds marathon for MND.

Fran Clews, my "step dad" who is more like my best mate, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease on the 25th September 2023. I've never really come to terms with it and still haven't if I'm honest, that's probably why it's taken me so long to do something like this.

Fran is an unbelievable human being, I've been in admiration of how he's dealt with MND ever since day 1. Fran and my mum are the bravest people I know- fighting this f**king disease. They've taken it in their stride and dealt with every bit of bad news better than I ever could to be honest. I don't want to get too emotional here, but they make me so proud.

MND has no cure. The research is so limited. The "unknown" is the most devastating thing to experience as a family. Please donate and help find a cure for MND.

Thankyou for donating,

Lucas
