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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, any donations big or small gratefully received.  

I am running in the Motor Neurone Disease Association team. The Motor Neurone Disease Association continues to support a close family member of mine; they are a very supportive, practical charity and I want to give them something back. 

In my years as a respiratory nurse, I cared for many patients with Motor Neurone disease requiring specialist  respiratory support and have encountered some amazing patients with huge amounts of determination and bravery and I draw on these memories when preparing for the race  

It is not purely altruism that finds me signed up for a half marathon, I have had some bad health which left me with chronic fatigue. Not one to take things lying down (so to speak) I have been trying to build myself back up and needed a goal so this is it. It's not been a straightforward recovery, more like a roller coaster but one way or another I hope to complete this challenge and would appreciate your support. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
