Last year we lost our wonderful friend Jo Leser to Motor Neurone Disease.

Jo was a friend, a singer, a social worker, a fosterer, an adopter, a loving parent and grandparent, a woman who demanded social justice, and a maker of terrible tea, truly dreadful tea. She was a constant in my life for 30 years, I made my own tea for most of that time.

In her loving memory and honour I will be hauling my plantar fasciitis for 50km along the Thames path to raise money for the MNDA. If you can contribute, no matter how little, I will be extremely grateful as will the charity.

So thank you for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the MND Association.

By sponsoring me your money will help people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the MND Association. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure, your details are safe - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Thank you again
