Story

In November 2023 my mother in law Yvonne sadly lost her fight with MND after a brave fight against this cruel disease.

On the 8th December 2024 Yvonne would have been 75, in her memory I will take on a 3 Marathon's in 3 Days Challenge to raise money for the MNDA - Yorkshire Coast Group who supported both Yvonne and our family following her diagnosis.

On Friday 6th December the challenge will begin with a marathon distance row. Then on Saturday 7th December I will cycle a marathon. Finally on Sunday 8th December (Yvonne's Birthday) I will walk a marathon starting and ending in Skipsea - our home village.

There will be opportunities to come and support me in person over the weekend and check in on my progress.

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
