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.
