On the 30th October 2014, my wonderful family lost the most amazing grandad in the entire world. Around a year after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, he lost his battle. I can't explain to anyone who didn't know this wonderful man, just how amazing he was to have as part of your family. There isn't a day that goes by in any of our lives that we don't feel a huge gap where he would of always filled.

He inspired me to never give up on my dreams, fight for what I deserve, to always keep my chin up high... and on occassion brush me off when I took a nasty fall at horse riding. He also taught me so much just by watching the way he loved my nan with all his heart. 

Running to raise money for MNDA does sometimes feel incomparable to all the things he did for me but I hope I can help change the lives of others affected by raising some money. For those who know me, exercise has never been my friend or an interest so I will be far from my comfort zone, but I know he'd of done anything for his entire family..  and running wouldn't of stopped him.

I promised him I'd never let anything stop me from getting where I wanted to be in life... I finally feel confident that I've done that and feel ready to smash this 10k like it's a stroll in the park. Please donate and help us beat Motor Neurone Disease or at least help other families who are taking each day at a time to cope with the symptoms of the disease.

Love you with all my heart Ginge', I hope I make you proud! xxx
