Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I was so honoured to be the only official runner for the Scottish Motor Neurone Disease Association in the London Marathon 2009. I literally followed my Dad`s footsteps as he completed the Marathon in 1982 before he was so cruelly struck down with Motor Neurone Disease in 1987. I ran in his memory and all those who have and had MND (ALS) and did it in within the magic 4 hours (3.56).

Thanks to everyone here`s help I was motivated to keep going to the finish (the last few miles were not easy!) and have so far managed to raise a massive £10,000+ for this very deserving cause. For that I am so grateful but I am not quite finished yet. This page will remain open for another 3 months, so perhaps I will reach my ultimate goal of £13,100. If you know anyone else who might like to contribute, please pass my details on.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Scottish Motor Neurone Disease Association 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! If you don`t live in the UK you can still sponsor me with your credit card. Just check out the exchange rate on http://www.xe.com/ucc to work out how much you`d like to give. With thanks on behalf of all those suffering from MND (ALS).

Danke, dass Du meine Spenden-Homepage besuchst. Ich bin stolz und fühle mich geehrt, dass ich die einzige offizielle Läuferin bin, die den London Marathon 2009 für die Scottish Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association rennen darf. Es ist ein Traum, den ich gehabt habe seit mein Vater seinen London Marathon absolviert hat. Er wurde dann so brutal durch die Erkrankung an Amyotrophe Lateralsklerose (ALS) oder MND getroffen. Ich habe mir gedacht, dass es ein würdiger Tribut an ihn und alle ALS-Patienten ist, wenn ich den Marathon renne. Selbstverständlich kommt mit diesem Privileg die Aufgabe, so viel Geld wie möglich für ALS zu sammeln.

Ich habe mir das sehr ambitiöse Ziel gesetzt, 500 Pfund pro Meile zu sammeln, weil ich weiss, dass ich die Motivation brauche, wenn es hart auf hart geht. Und mit Deiner Hilfe schaffe ich das auch! Spenden via Justgiving ist schnell, einfach und sehr sicher.

Es ist die effizienteste Weise, mich zu sponsoren, nämlich mit der Kreditkarte. Auf http://www.xe.com/ucc siehst Du den Wechselkurs und kannst entscheiden, wieviel zu spenden willst. Vielen Dank, dass Du mich sponsorst! Im Namen aller, die an ALS leiden.
