This year I will be taking a jog around East London in the Hackney Half Marathon, to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease Association. MND Association does incredible work throughout the country, supporting people with motor neurone disease (MND), campaigning for better care and funding ground-breaking research.

MND is a cause that’s been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've chosen to run on behalf of MND Association in honour of my late father, Bruce Molcsan, who passed away from MND when I was young. While that experience isn’t the focus of this run, it’s one of the reasons this cause matters so much to me.

If you can spare a few dollars or pounds, it would be amazing to help contribute to the ongoing support MND Association offers.

Although I can't promise an impressive race time, you can be sure that any donations go a long way to helping change the lives of many people managing MND.
