Story

Molly

July 2016 my dad was diagnosed with MND. Still fighting this brutal disease. 

I asked him if there’s anything he’d like me to write and he said:

“If I could run this with you. I would. Maddison’s don’t do things by halves. I want you to push me around the whole way, however you won’t so I’ll just have to meet you all at the finish line. I’ll give you my wheel chair for a lift back to the car” 

For obvious reasons this marathon means the world to me and all contributions are gratefully received. 

Clair 

I  am running this Marathon because I can and so many people can't because of the awful disease that is MND . It has & is affecting people that are close to me & it means so much to raise money to fight this shit disease .. when the going gets tuff I will be fighting through the pain to help everyone & there families that are affected.

John

As much as my life is not directly affected by MND it breaks my heart when I watch the effects it has on people & their lives. I am looking forward to training with Clair and Molly to support them as I know the cruel impact this has had on their friends and families. People I am proud to now call my friends too.

Arabella

For me, having heard stories from my Dad who watched Granny suffer with MND and then hear my friends Molly and Brooke go through the same pain with their Dad, makes it even more important to me to show my support.

My workplace, Wood Plc have kindly offered to match fund 1/5 of this Just Giving page, thats doubling 1/5 of all donations using Mollys page!
