Running for Brenda. For Andrew. For Everyone with MND.

Thanks for visiting our JustGiving page.

This July marks 20 years since we lost my auntie Gill’s mum, Brenda, to Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Last year, we were devastated to learn that Gill’s brother, Andrew, has been diagnosed with advanced MND.

At Christmas, admittedly after a few drinks, a group of us decided to run the Leeds Half Marathon for MND, I’m determined to not only complete it, I’m going to enjoy it and raise as much as I can for a cause that means everything.

Now, if you know me, you know I’m far more comfortable doing laps of the pub than laps of a track. My idea of cardio used to be a sprint to the bar before last orders. But now, somehow, I’ve swapped pint glasses for protein shakes.

Training has been tough (there’s been wheezing, sweating, and possibly some tears), but I’m doing it.

We’re running for Brenda, for Andrew, and for everyone facing the cruel reality of MND. The MNDA provides essential support, funds crucial research, and brings hope to families like ours.

Please donate if you can. Every pound makes a difference. Every step we take is for a future without MND.

Thank you so much,

Dan & Paul
