I'm running the London Marathon next month lads and I want to raise some money for charity, and here's why.

In 2015, Motor Nuerone Disease took the life of one of my best mate's Dad, Neil. It was a complete shock to us all, one of the most outgoing, athletic 55 year olds I’ve ever known had been cut down in his prime by a horrible knob of an illness that has no cure.

The Motor Neurone Disease Association exist to do all they can to improve the lives of those people affected by MND. No donation is too big or too small, everything you donate here will help them do what they do best: to enable everybody living with MND to receive the best care, achieve the highest possible quality of life and to die with dignity.

If you have a few quid spare it'd be ace if you could send it their way and then I'll go and run 26.2 miles in return. Deal?
