Motor Neurone Disease moves fast. It takes away time, it takes away independence and it has no cure. Every day we support people affected by MND. We fund ground-breaking research. We campaign for better care. We’re here for everyone who needs us. Because with MND, every day matters.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>After watching my son, Liam run in the 2011 London Marathon and help raise lots of money for Tommy's charity and then enter the 2011 Great South Run at Portsmouth&nbsp;I have been persuaded to enter the Great South Run as well. He is 29 and I am 57 so I need all the help to get me through the ten miles and perform as best I can so I will not be too far behind him.</p> <p>I thought it would be a good incentive to run in memory of my Dad and help raise money for Motor Neurone disease. Sadly my Dad suffered from MND and passed away a few years ago. The MND Association is such a worthwhile charity which provides essential support for sufferers and their families. Having personally experienced the effect MND&nbsp;has on families I will be training hard for the 10 mile event and I am hoping to raise as much money as possible to benefit the MND Association.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Thank you for reading my page and I would be grateful if you would consider sponsoring my run. Any amount no matter how small would be greatly appreciated and would help to motiavate me to complete the 10 mile run as best I can.</p>
