Story

Hi I’m Iestyn fisher an MMA fighter.

I train to fight. I step into a cage knowing there’s going to be someone standing opposite me trying to beat me.

But when that fight is over, I get to walk away.

Mark Williams doesn’t.

Mark is fighting Motor Neurone Disease every single day — and despite everything MND throws at him, he continues to inspire people and fight for others.

That’s why I’ll be running the Cardiff Half Marathon — 13.1 miles for Mark, the Defiance Army and the fight against MND.

People might call me a fighter because I compete in MMA…

But I know who the real fighter is.

Mark Williams. 💙

Every mile is for you, Mark.

🥊 FIGHTING FOR THOSE WHO NEVER GET TO LEAVE THE FIGHT.

DEFIANCE ARMY
