**** UPDATE - APRIL 2023 ****

Thank you everyone for your donations so far - we really appreciate it and it will make a real difference to the MND community.

For a little bit of added spice, we are also attempting the Goggins 4x4x48 challenge at 6pm on Wednesday 5th April, as part of our preparation for the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon. David Goggins is an ex-US Navy Seal and ultramarathon runner. The challenge is to run 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours. This will be a huge test of our mental and physical endurance, and will require us to go for runs at 2am in the middle of the night!

Thanks for visiting our JustGiving page.

We are running the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on 14th May 2023 as we want to make a difference for people affected by MND.

As you may know, MND has had a devastating impact on the sporting world - particularly rugby union and rugby league - with Rob Burrow, Ed Slater, Doddie Weir and Joost van der Westhuizen all suffering from the disease. This has really resonated with us and we are therefore keen to do our bit to help the MND community fight against this.

Any donations that you make will be massively appreciated. If you want to know more about MND and how your donations can help, please click the following link:

We'd also recommend watching the Kevin Sinfield documentary, "Going the Extra Mile":
