Boston (UK) Marathon · 13 April 2025

We fund care, campaigning and research to achieve a world free from MND

Story

Myself and some colleagues in the Outer Dowsing Team have signed up to run a fair few km's in aid of a variety of charities.

I will be running to raise money for MND Association.

With MND messages from the motor neurones gradually stop reaching the muscles. This leads the muscles to weaken, stiffen and waste, which can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. MND is life-shortening and there is no cure. Although the disease will progress, symptoms can be managed to help achieve the best possible quality of life.

MND Association fund research, improve care and provide support for people with MND, their families and carers.

14 of the team will run in the Boston* Marathon, half or 10km in 2025.

Some of us are seasoned runners, others are beginning our running journey, but together as a team, we hope to raise some money for a range of charities across Lincolnshire and further beyond.

Please donate if you can to help us raise over £2000.

The Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind team are working to build a 1.5 GW wind farm, 33 miles off the coast of Wolla Bank, Lincolnshire. We are currently in development phase, and it is hoped that building will begin in 2027 and complete in 2030 bringing clean, renewable power to 1.6 million households.

Since the project launched in 2021 the team have got to know South and East Lincolnshire well, surveying the land and meeting with local communities.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
