Virgin London Marathon 2011 · 17 April 2011 ·

Motor Neurone Disease moves fast. It takes away time, it takes away independence and it has no cure. Every day we support people affected by MND. We fund ground-breaking research. We campaign for better care. We’re here for everyone who needs us. Because with MND, every day matters.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit&nbsp;our JustGiving page.</p> <p>We are running our first marathon and have an extensive training programme in advance of the race on 17th April. We've just completed Reading Half Marathon which went well and a 23 mile training run. For the next 3 weeks we will be continuing with our normal 4 runs a week, cycling and yoga classes.</p> <p>With just over a day to go now we're getting nervous and excited, have been to ExCel to register and collect our numbers. This week we've had a very relaxing pre race massage from Charlotte and a rest day today (Friday). We're planning on a very slow jog round Reding Parkrun (5K) tomorrow morning,then home to pack kit bags all ready for the big day!</p> <p>We are raising funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.&nbsp; Lorraine's mum&nbsp;passed away&nbsp;from this&nbsp;disease in 2010 and we hope that you'll support us to meet our fundraising target.</p> <p>Thank you very much for your support, enabling us to beat our target.&nbsp;</p> <p>We did it! It took us 5hours and 32minutes, it was very hot and tough going at the end but we're both on cloud nine to have crossed the finish line.</p>
