Dromore 10k

Motor Neurone Disease moves fast. It takes away time, it takes away independence and it has no cure. Every day we support people affected by MND. We fund ground-breaking research. We campaign for better care. We’re here for everyone who needs us. Because with MND, every day matters.

Story

On the 5th of August 2023, I lost my father to Motor Neurone Disease. This is possibly the most horrible disease with still NO cure.

As Daddy suffered with frontotemporal dementia he was not a suitable candidate for any interventions, I.e Feeding tube or non-invasive ventilation. This meant myself and my family had to sit and watch him fade away for 8 weeks. The devastation this has brought to us as a family is simply awful and cruel.

For those who know me would know that I am not a runner, but I wanted to push myself into something that would keep me focused on the lead up to my fathers 1st year Anniversary and keep my mind busy. I will be taking part in my local 10k in mid August and I will proudly be wearing my MND gear to raise awareness.

Every donation, big or small, would be a huge help. Also if any runners would like to help me with advice then please drop me a message.

Thank you and wish me luck 🙏
