Ben Nevis Ultra Marathon · 14 June 2024

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

I am going to try to run up and down Ben Nevis three times totalling 32 miles with 10 hours the cut off mark. I have been training for this since January and I have worked really hard so I can accomplish this run. This awful disease took the life of my former captain and team mate Nick Smith who was only 37. After being inspired by Kevin Sinfield who’s raised a lot of money and awareness for MND for his friend Rob Burrow I decided to take myself out of my comfort zone and try and do my little bit to try and help those affected by this disease. Any donation large or small would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

John.
