I ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon in 2024. It was a fantastic event! I didn't think I would do it again after finishing on the day.

Although as soon as the news broke about Rob Burrow, I didn't hesitate. I signed up and I'm rearing to go for 2025!

I'm running for MNDA again. It's a great charity and a small donation can go a long way to supporting those with MND.

Support me along my way, throughout my training all the way to the marathon day! Donate where you can, big or small - it all helps!

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

MND Association Patron Rob Burrow CBE sadly died on 2 June 2024, four and a half years after he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

We need your support.

£160 could fund a specialist communication app for a tablet/smartphone/laptop to enable a person with MND to continue to communicate with loved ones.

£280 could fund the co-ordination of care for a person with MND at a care centre for a year.

£1000 could pay for detailed analysis of the DNA of someone with MND to help us better understand the causes of the disease.
