Brad Hodgson is raising money for Motor Neurone Disease Association
Story
Hello there :)
I am participating in the Rob Burrow MND Leeds Marathon on Sunday 14th May and I am running/fundraising for MND (Motor Neurone Disease). I have set a target of £800 however I am looking to raise as much as possible to help tackle this horrible disease.
The reason for me running this marathon is because of Rob Burrow and the horrible journey Rob and his family have been on since being diagnosed with MND. I want to help the MND community and raise as much money as possible to help. Seeing the lengths that Kevin Sinfield has gone to for his best mate has inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and help fundraise for MND.
I have followed Rugby League my whole life so witnessing this happening to Rob Burrow is very upsetting and this is why I decided to sign up for the marathon. As well as Rob there are many others diagnosed with this disease and unfortunately the awareness or research is currently very limited!
I think a lot of us can be guilty of taking some days for granted, always thinking that there's tomorrow. However some people aren't as fortunate and this disease changes lives over night. Events like this bring everyone together pulling in the right direction for such a great cause!
Lastly, any donation big or small will be so impactful and appreciated. Every donation makes a difference to a person living with MND. It will help people affected by MND get the support they need, both now and in the future. Thank you!
