Raising money for

Motor Neurone Disease Association

The Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association is the only national organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland dedicated to the support of people with MND and those who care for them.

Our mission is to fund and promote research to bring about an end to MND. Until then we will do all that we can to enable everyone with MND to receive the best care, achieve the highest quality of life possible, and die with dignity. We will also do all that we can to support the families and carers of people with MND.

Our vision is of a world free of MND.

My story

On the 20^th August 2006, I will be taking on the challenge of a lifetime – IRONMAN UK . For the uninitiated this means swimming 2.4 miles in open water, followed by 112 miles on the bike (with over 7500 feet of climbing) and then a full marathon to wrap matter up!! Am I mad? Of course I am - no sane person would ever contemplate such a feat of endurance. Why am I doing it? To raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. My father John died in May 2002 after a prolonged battle with MND.

For the record, on deciding to take up this challenge my background in each of the disciplines was as follows:

SWIMMING – Would struggle to complete one length of the pool without drinking most of it!!

CYCLING – Not too bad, managed to complete the "London to Brighton" on a raleigh shopper complete with 3 gears and a basket.

RUNNING – One half marathon in 1985 and a few 6 milers.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Motor Neurone Disease Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
