I'm hoping to raise £3,000 completing the Plymouth Half Marathon on 11th May and London Royal Parks Half Marathon on 12th October 2025, to raise awareness and money for the MND Association who supported my brother last year. Being a 100m and 200m sprinter and just about managing a 5km run previously the two half marathons will be a real challenge!!

Motor neurone disease (MND) which I lost my dear brother to last December, is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and is terminal.

MND affects how you walk, eat, drink, breathe and talk - through a speech machine that was provided by the MND Association, we made some precious memories with my brother and I would love to be able to give this back to other families who are going through this with a family member who is suffering from this cruel and incurable disease.

What your money would be used on by the MND Association:

* £120 could provide an over-bed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed.

* £280 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year.

* £500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones.

* Funding research for this heartbreaking disease.

Thank you for donating no matter how small, it will really count.
