We are aiming to walk/run/scoot/ride 500 miles over the month of August as part of MNDA Mission 5000.  Roma is aiming to do 100 miles of this herself - not bad for an 8 year old!

Why MNDA and why now?  Like many, we have been touched by the diagnosis and subsequent documenting of  high profile people like Doddie Weir and Rob Burrows but it really struck a chord with us in December 2020 when a friend of ours was diagnosed with MND.

Our friend Mark was a fit and healthy man.  We had the pleasure of being part of his wedding to Roma's Auntie Rachel in 2016 and certainly didn't think that an innocuous fall whilst our two families were camping together in 2019 would lead onto a diagnosis of MND.  Fast forward to now and Mark is sadly now no longer able to walk and talk and Rachel has given up work to become his carer.

As an active family we were looking for a challenge to undertake so we could play our part and raise some money for this vital charity.  You can follow our progress on Instagram @miles4mnd
