Sage Reading Half Marathon 2021 · 7 November 2021 ·

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

As an ex international athlete, I have always been looking for the next challenge and for those who know me, you will understand how much I don't enjoy running!!  

I have decided to start with a half marathon and see what happens (running for 2 hours as a thought alone scares me!) but MND is hugely topical at the moment with Dodie Weir during Sports Personality and  Rob Burrow speaking about this horrible disease -  I am not ashamed to say it has reduced me to tears on many occasions. 

Closer to home a few friends have family members either suffering from this disease or sadly passed away and it saddens me that with all the technology & advances in medicine there still isn't a cure.

Any amount, big or small will go a long way so please dig deep and support me & the other 33 runners on our quest. I will post regular updates including how the training is going and obviously the end result (sub 2 hours would be lovely so fingers crossed the body holds up!!)
