Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On Sunday the twelve of July I successfully completed IM Switzerland in a time of 9:56:07. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported me and to those who donated to my designated charity (MND Scotland).

 

On the 12th of July I shall be competing at IM Switzerland. The Ironman event consists of a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike finishing with a 26.2 mile run.

I shall be raising money for the Scottish Motor Neurone Disease Association (MND Scotland). Having recently lost an uncle to this terrible disease I would like to contribute towards the research funding so that one day a cure may be found.

MND is a fatal disease of the nervous system. It attacks the nerve cells (motor neurones) that send messages from the brain to the muscles. As these motor neurones gradually die, the muscles stop working. Every day more damage is done and the body slowly deteriorates. MND can destroy the ability to walk, talk, dress or swallow. People with MND live their lives totally dependent on others for their most basic needs.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: MND Scotland gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
