This October we will be taking part in the Manchester Half Marathon to raise money for the MND Association South Lancashire Branch.

As some of you may know, MND is a cause that has become particularly important to us as a family. We’ve become very aware of the impact the condition can have, not only on those living with MND but also on their families and loved ones. It’s made us appreciate just how important the support and work of the MND Association is.

We've decided to challenge ourselves to run the half marathon and, hopefully, turn all those training miles into something positive by raising as much as we can for such an important cause.

The funds we raise will go directly towards supporting our local MND Association - the South Lancashire Branch. This will help them to continue the important work they do for people and families affected by MND in our local community.

It’s definitely going to be a challenge, but having a cause behind it makes the early mornings, long runs and tired legs a little more worthwhile!

If you’re able to donate, we’d be incredibly grateful. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help support an incredibly worthy cause.

And if donating isn’t possible, simply sharing our fundraiser, helping us spread the word and raise awareness of MND, or supporting us along the way would mean just as much.

Thank you for your support — now we just need to get through those 13.1 miles! 🏃‍♂️
