Story

This is a big challenge for a great cause. I hope you can support me!

On 31st May I'm climbing the highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales in just 24 hours in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

I've climbed Ben Nevis (4,409 ft), Scafell Pike (3,209 ft) and Snowdon (3,560 ft) individually in the past, but 26 miles of ascent and descent and 475 miles of travel in one day is a little daunting! I'm determined to succeed, and I've been doing as much training as the flat Norfolk countryside will allow me.

Motor Neurone Disease is a devastating, incurable disease. It can affect any adult at any age. It causes muscles to waste, eventually leaving the sufferer unable to speak, swallow or breathe. The mind is not affected. Most people diagnosed die within 18 months. The MNDA provides support to sufferers and their families, and funds vital research into finding a cure.

Please give whatever you can towards this fantastic cause, and thank you for your support!
