Story

We are running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 8 October in memory of our dear dad who lost his battle to Motor Neurone Disease 11 months after diagnosis.

Dad was diagnosed with MND in March 2022. It is a horrific, debilitating disease which affected all aspects of Dad’s life. He suffered mentally and physically, losing his mobility, dignity and reason for living. He spent his final days in the amazing care of St Michael’s Hospice who made him feel safe and loved. He has left a huge void in our lives and and we miss him very much.

We are raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association who gave both Mum and Dad so much guidance, advice and support. Michelle is currently injured and undergoing physio but is determined to finish the course one way or another! If you are able to donate to help us reach our target and support MNDA to continue their invaluable work we would be very grateful.
