Leeds Half Marathon 2025 · 11 May 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

Join #TeamMND as we take on the 2025 Leeds Half Marathon

Story

Once again, I'm fundraising for MNDA. This year is going to be very busy, so I'm only setting myself one challenge, which is to run the Leeds Half Marathon in May. However, this year I'll be doing it differently. Jade and James are running it with me, together with Ken, who'll be taking part in his powerchair. It's going to be a tough challenge, as we won't be able to train together. Ken's powerchair is capable of 8mph, so we need to find a pace that we can all achieve.

Fundraising is really important to us all. Funding research to find a cure is key, but MNDA support on many other levels too.

Ken received his diagnosis in 2020, but has been living with MND for approximately 10 years. We're "lucky" that he has PLS, which is a rare form and progresses at a slower rate. Nevertheless, daily life is a constant struggle and has changed our lives forever.
