I am super excited and honoured to be representing #TeamMND in the TCS London Marathon 2025! 3 years ago, my brother was diagnosed with Progressive Muscular Atrophy (PMA), a rare form of MND and so the MND Association is a very important cause to my family and I. All donations are greatly appreciated by both myself and the MND Association. You can follow my journey to running a marathon on Instagram and TikTok @agb_runsmnd

Love always,

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting.

MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. However, not all symptoms necessarily happen to everyone and it is unlikely they will all develop at the same time, or in any specific order.

Although there is currently no cure for MND, symptoms can be managed to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.
