Story

My fundraising effort for 2024 is to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association by running 2 Ultra Marathons and 2 Marathons in less than 4 months from the beginning of February through to mid May.

In February I will be doing "Pendle Way in a Day", a 30 mile Ultra with 4.500ft of ascent. In March I will be running the Barcelona Marathon and in April I will be tackling the 30 mile "Calderdale Way Ultra". The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon in May will be the "Grand Finale".

Anyone who saw Kevin Sinfield carrying Rob Burrow over the finish line of this event in 2023 couldn't help but be moved by that act of friendship and kindness. This is what inspired me to raise money again for MNDA in 2024.

I hope you are able to support me in this and donate any amount, however small or large, to this very worthwhile cause.

I believe that I will be pushing myself to the limit in completing these 4 events in less than 4 months. However, I regard myself as very lucky to have my health to allow me to attempt this challenge and therefore be able to help those who are struggling to cope with the effects of MND.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and for any contribution you feel you are able to make.
