Hi, and thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I'm hoping you will help in supporting me to raise more than £4500.

Just over a year ago my best friend, Phil was diagnosed with MND. Motor Neurone disease (MND) is a rare condition that progressively damages parts of the nervous system, This leads to muscle weakness, often with visible wasting that gradually worsens over time with NO cure.

While there is no cure, Phil has found some treatments that help with his day to day activities, and has seen improvements in his mobility by having them. The Neuro rehabilitation and medications he has, all have to be accessed privately as they are not available through the NHS or the MND charity, they play a crucial part in slowing down the decline and giving Phil a prolonged quality of life, but they all have to be self funded. Every penny will help Phil live better for longer & your kind donation will have a huge impact on Phil and his family.

That treatment & medicines comes at a cost which is expensive. To help Phil be able to continue with vital treatment he needs, i will be throwing myself into another 6 months of challenges to help raise some funds that will allow Phil to continue with his treatment for the remainder of this year and hopefully into next.

He's a man of principal and would never ask for any help but as his best friend and as someone who has always been there for me, i will always be there for him & his family and I'm hoping you will support me with my fundraising for him.

My main challenge will see me heading back to the Himalayas in November to take on a trek from the Indian side of the mountains, plus i will also be tackling 2 of the big mountain ranges in wales, (The full Clwydian range (33k in under 10 hrs) & The Moelwyns range, which is a brutal 35k over the Moelwyn mountains, trekking through ankle deep bog for the most of it!) And then onto the Edale Skyline which is 30km route across the highest points of the peak district.

Thanks again for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, i hope you can spare a few pounds, which will help make a huge difference to Phil's quality of life.
