Dear friends and supporters,

On Sunday, 11th January 2026, at 18:00, I will embark on one of the most challenging endurance events in the UK: the Montane Winter Spine Challenger North. This grueling journey spans 160 miles with an elevation gain of 15,000 feet, all to be completed in under 108 hours amidst the harsh conditions of a Northern winter.

This challenge is not just a test of physical endurance; it is a heartfelt mission to raise awareness and funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Recently, a close friend was diagnosed with MND, and it has deeply affected me. I want to contribute to the fight against this devastating disease by supporting vital research and development efforts aimed at finding effective treatments.

I invite you to join me in this important cause. Your generous donations will help propel the work of this incredible charity that is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by MND. Together, we can bring hope and support to many who are facing this challenge. Please consider donating what you can towards my target of £2,500. Every contribution counts and brings us one step closer to a cure.

Thank you for your support on this journey.
