Story
Cormac and Ciarán are running the London Marathon! (Cormac's idea) We will be running for a great charity close to both of us, the Motor Neuron Disease Association.
As some of you will know our Mum Terry passed away 4 years ago after a number of years living through this cruel disease. In her memory we wanted to give something back to a fantastic charity who fund research, improve care and provide support for people living with MND, their families and carers.
You can follow our training on Strava if that's your thing;

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.
