In August 2020 I could not/would not run. It’s something I’ve always wanted to be able to do and have tried. And failed! With the unfailing support of my AKRFitness community I can now do a comfortable 5k. And more. 

As a nurse specialist for MND, I see the challenges that those living with MND face on a daily basis. People with this illness progressively lose the ability to move, talk, swallow and breathe. There is no cure or treatment for MND. It is fast. It is fatal. 

Everyday things that we take for granted are a challenge for those living with MND.  On the days I can’t be bothered running, or when I think I can’t push myself anymore, I think of the people I look after who do not have this opportunity. And I’m inspired. I GET to run!

I am running for those affected by MND who I have had, currently have,  and will have , the privilege to know. 

Please help me raise much needed and much-appreciated funds. Each and every penny will go to families living with MND.
