Hello, my name is Scarlett McCormack. I’m nearly 17, and on September 7th, 2025, my gorgeous Nanny passed away from Motor Neurone Disease. My nan had the heart of an angel, she was the most loving person ever, and it was heartbreaking to watch her struggle while fighting this disease. For those who don’t know what MND is, it is a disease that causes muscle weakness that continuously gets worse over months or years. It is a life-shortening disease, and currently, there is no cure.

So, during January 2026, I’ll be participating in running 100k to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. This charity focuses on improving access to care, funding research, and campaigning for people who have been affected by MND, as well as those who are currently living with it.

More information about Motor Neurone Disease Association: The Motor Neurone Disease Association is the only national charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland focused on MND care, research and campaigning.
