Story

In April 2024 I'm going to be running the London Marathon in memory of my Dad and Alex. Little did we know 13 years ago when we were watching the marathon together that just shortly after he'd be diagnosed with MND. He was his usual cheeky self, covering me in "going out of date" stickers from the pub and making me laugh. Heart breakingly just a few years later lost his life to MND, I still can't believe that he's gone. 

An old school and college friend Martin was diagnosed with MND in recent years too and is living with the disease. He is a huge inspiration after watching him run the marathon in the past. Every penny given to the MNDA will make a difference to people with MND and their families. To fund vital research to help find a cure, and help support people living with MND now.
