Very unexpectedly my amazing Mum and best friend was diagnosed with motor neuron disease. The most painful news I have ever received.
For all those that know her not one thing has changed, she still is the most amazing, funny, loving, beautiful and caring individual ever. She has helped, and will continue to help so many people and do so many amazing things. No one person deserves to get this disease, especially my Mum. Many of you who have been blessed to meet her know exactly what she is like, her personality will continue to fill rooms, her laughter is something that the world needs.
One thing mum loves doing is shouting on the sidelines whilst I attempt to play all sorts of sports; as a kid - through to my late teens. No matter what, you would be able to hear her at the top of her voice. So I want to give her the chance to do this with all my nearest and dearest whilst she is still able get around easily. So on the 5th of may, She will watch us fall, laugh and cry (and then attempt to do the tough mudder). So far 25+ warriors so far have signed up in our team to make complete fools out of themselves.
Very sadly there is currently no cure for this disease. Each person reacts to it differently. To raise awareness and as much money as possible we are doing tough mudder in the name of the MND association. Please feel free to ask me any questions about it if u wish too. Thanks so much to my friends who have changed there charity events to MND for my mum and I also will be changing the charities in which the businesses we run support. The support has been overwhelming.
After the event we will be going out for food, drinks and laughter - mainly at our struggles and injuries. Please all come, watch, drink and laugh with Mum at our expense! Any support would be mostwelcome. Even better message me if you want to take part in the team - Brudder From Another Mudder!
Please donate what you can afford.
Thanks a lot - Toby x
