Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the MND Association.

Sponsor me on here and your money will change the lives of people in the UK affected by MND.

This Sunday, I’ll be running the Manchester ASICS Half Marathon to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

A very dear colleague, Joff Machel, was sadly diagnosed with MND around 18 months ago. Joff has always loved being an orthodontist and has led an incredibly active life. He has also given so much back to our profession and, since his diagnosis, has worked tirelessly and selflessly to raise awareness and much-needed funds for MND research, in the hope that better treatments — and ultimately a cure — will be available for those affected by this devastating disease in the future.

Joff is also, quite simply, a thoroughly lovely gentleman, and it would mean a great deal to me to support him and the wider MND community by taking on this challenge.

If you’re able to sponsor me, however small the donation, I would be incredibly grateful. Every contribution will help support such a worthwhile cause.

And one more favour… 🎶

I need some inspiration for my running playlist! I love all genres of music (apart from heavy rock), so please suggest a song that you think will get me through those final few miles! 🏃‍♀️🎵

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to give.
