On the 23rd December my Dad was diagnosed with MND. The worst news possible.

Anyone who has been lucky enough to meet my Dad know just how awesome he is. Positive, funny, brilliant. Annoyingly good at most sports, so competitive and a zest for life that is contagious. He is my amazing strong Dad. And the best Grandad.

His symptoms started in March 2025, however it has taken 9 months to be diagnosed. In that time he has lost the use of his arms.

It often takes along time to be diagnosed as some Doctors dont come across it in their careers. Plus MND can start in different areas of the body so not always easy to detect.

We are now focussed on creating memories and just spending time together as a family.

Im spending 2026 raising money and awareness for the MND association. I'll be running several long distance events including the Liversedge half,Manchester Marathon and the Rob Burrows leeds Marathon. Plus the 10mile walk for MND, Dad's bike rides and lots more.

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the MND Association. The MND Association focus on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with MND
