Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the MND Association.

I (Brad) will be partaking in the 2026 London Marathon to raise awareness for motor neurone disease.

Sadly, we lost our Nan, Margaret Gait to MND. We, as a family didn’t have much of an idea what the disease was before our Nans diagnosis. Anyone that knew Margaret, knew she was the most loving, caring & thoughtful person. She holds a special place in all of our hearts, we felt this marathon would be a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of this disease which former Rugby player Rob Burrows has done brilliantly. This is something I have applied for years on end with no success, I am so grateful for this opportunity to raise money for such a fantastic charity so close to our hearts for such a special person to us all.

The MND Association focus on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

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.
