100 miles . 24 hours . Very Good Friday !, 1 April 2021
This campaign will lay the foundations for human trials of a pioneering therapy for Motor Neurone Disease (MND). The fatal disease affects the brain and nerves and causes weakness over time. There is currently no cure for the condition.

Story

My goal is to run 100 miles in 24 hours on Friday 2nd April 2021 to raise money for Funding Neuro.

Although I have not been directly affected by this disease, I have seen through media coverage and social media how this disease can affect anyone. However, also through these platforms I have seen the amazing work being undertaken at Edinburgh University where they are unearthing promising results in a race to find a cure. It is not a coincidence that these findings have occurred after some amazing fund raising efforts. But now is the time to be relentless, by not accepting that this disease will affect somebody else's mom, dad, brother, sister, spouse or child. Now is the time to play a part in somebody else's miracle.
