In March, I am running 21 kilometres every day for 21 days to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

In November last year I sadly lost my Grandma (Jan) to Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Grandma didn’t show the typical symptoms of MND meaning it went undiagnosed for many months despite countless different tests whilst her condition continued to deteriorate. It was only after being admitted to hospital that she was diagnosed with MND. She sadly passed away a few days later.

After months of trying to get a diagnosis and with Grandma sadly losing her battle with MND, I feel compelled to raise awareness of the disease, and help support those who have been diagnosed and their families.

Every day in the UK six people are told the devastating news that they have MND. Any donations, no matter how big or small, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
