I have signed up for my first half marathon as I progress on my running journey.
I was robbed of the opportunity of meeting the great man that was my wife's grandad John due to Motor Neurone Disease.
6 people are diagnosed with this cruel disease EVERY day in the UK and there is currently no cure.
I'm raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, because I want to help beat MND. MND is a rapidly progressing disease that attacks the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. Currently there is no cure. I want to help the MND Association to achieve their vision; a world free from MND. I would love your support, every penny counts.
£72 could pay for an MND researcher to use a high-powered microscope for four hours, helping us better understand the disease.
£85 could buy software to enable someone to bank their own voice
£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed
£280 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year
£500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones
