Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

Why is this so important to me? 

Put simply…..over the last few years a very close friend of mine along with her family have suffered the loss of 3 family members to MND.  Last year after caring so amazingly for her Dad she had to say her final goodbyes.   He fought the disease so bravely and was an inspiration to so many. 

Unfortunately the bad news has continued and her beautiful sister is now fighting this awful disease…..and what a fighter she is. Brave, courageous and inspiring are just a few words I would use to describe her. She continues to live her life with a smile on her face, finding every which way she can to fight this awful disease. 

Throughout all of this my amazing friend has been there as a rock for her family and still continues to be. She is committed to fundraising for the MND association in the hope that one day soon a cure can be found. 

So this is where I’m asking for your help….she asked me to run the marathon with her and of course I said yes. (It’s always been on my bucket list but I’d never really thought through the reality of how hard it will be.)  If she and her family have the guts, determination and courage to keep fighting this awful disease then we will find the same in order to finish the marathon in the best way we can. 

Please get behind us, we will more than need your support…..long runs in the winter months is not my idea of fun but, a cure / treatments needs to be found so family’s do not have to suffer.
