Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Now seems like the right time to tell those of you that don’t already know about my 5:5 challenge on the 19th to the 23rd of August.

As some of you may know, someone very close to me was diagnosed with MND two and a half years ago, so it is something very close to our hearts.

I want the challenge to be personal to our family, so I decided that I am going to run from the house in Marford, North Wales, where both Penny and her family lived for a couple of years when she and Brigette were kids, all the way down to Howard and Janet’s home in Lower Machen.

The distance is pretty much the same as 5 marathons, so from August 19th until August 23rd, I will be running 5 marathons in 5 days, from Marford to Lower Machen, to raise money and awareness for the MND charity My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.

A huge thank you to anyone or any local businesses that would be generous enough to sponsor me, and I’d also be grateful to anybody who would be willing to run or cycle some of the route with me to keep me company.

It will be a tough challenge, but nothing compared to the daily struggles of those with MND, true warriors one and all.
