Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Running a marathon has always been one of those things that has been on my life 'to do list' so to have been offered the opportunity to run the London Marathon 2015 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association is both thrilling and humbling.

I am privileged to work with patients and their families who are living with this devastating disease and to be able to raise money that will fund and support care and research is the least I can do to support the fight against MND.

• MND is a fatal, rapidly progressive disease that affects the brain and spinal cord
• It attacks the nerves that control movement; people can still think and feel, but their muscles refuse to work.
• It can leave people locked in a failing body, unable to move, talk and eventually breathe.
• It has no cure.

Over the next ten months as well as training in any weather that happens to be thrown at me, I will be organising fundraising events and your support with these would be fantastic, although please feel free to donate as much as you like to this page!

Thank you for taking the time to read my page and for your support.

Love
