I’m running the London Marathon this year to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, supporting my friend Claire who sadly lost her mum to Motor Neurone Disease. Claire is also taking on the marathon in her mum’s memory, and I’m proud also to be running the Marathon for a cause that means so much.

MND is a devastating illness that affects thousands of families. Any support you can give will help fund vital research and support for those living with the disease. Thank you so much for your support.

Every penny you donate matters.

£12 could provide an information pack for a person newly diagnosed with MND

£35 could fund one of our MND Connect helpline advisers for an hour

£40 could buy an adapted cutlery set so a person can feed themselves

£75 could inspire a rising research star to devote their career to MND

£100 could provide a voice amplifier for someone to read to their children
