Story

Last year, we received the heartbreaking news that our beautiful mom has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). MND is a cruel, incurable disease, and while it’s already changing her life, it hasn’t changed the amazing person she is and we still get to hear that amazing laugh she has ! ❤️

Mom has always been the heart and soul of our family—strong, caring, and always putting others first

Sadly, Jess’s dad, Steve, also passed away from MND. I never got the chance to meet him, but I’ve heard so many stories about what an incredible guy he was. ❤️

Me ,my sister Cassie and girlfriend Jess will be running in the Rob Burrow MND marathon in Leeds on Sunday May the 11th this year to raise money to help the specialists that are trying to make it easier for people to live with MND and maybe one day find a cure (hopefully in the next few months 🙏)

Any donations at all I will be so grateful 🙌💫

TIA

Will
