Story

To further my identity of being glutton of punishment, I've decided to run 26.2 miles. It's a terrible idea and I'm going to suffer greatly. But it's been on my bucket list for a while and we'll all be dead soon so I may as well get it over with and raise some money on the way.

MND (Motor Neuron Disease) is a shit show! Two of the very few people I actually like in the world have each had a parent die from it, so I try and give MND a kick in the balls whenever I can.

MND Scotland is the only Scottish charity providing care and support to people affected by MND. It helps them and their families with care and goes towards hopefully finding a cure.

If you can donate then it would be appreciated. The more money raised, the more I'll have to train for the bastard and the more miserable I'll be. So it's a win for anyone that knows me.
