<div>In April 2024, Rob Hasler ran the fastest marathon of his life, finishing in under three hours. Six months later, in October 2024, Rob was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Running has always been a big part of the friendship between Rob, Paul Sharp and Alex Wright. After Rob’s diagnosis, we were determined to find a way to keep doing what we love together: getting out on the road and taking part in races side by side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our original plan was to hire a specialist running chair so Rob could take part in the Leeds Marathon with Paul and Alex pushing. After discovering how difficult it was to hire one, we launched a fundraiser to buy a chair ourselves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to the incredible generosity of so many people, we raised the money. On 10 May 2026, the three of us took part in the Leeds Marathon together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Crossing that start line together was unforgettable. It was emotional, powerful and full of joy, not just for us, but for everyone who supported us to get there. It proved something we felt strongly from the beginning: everyone should have the opportunity to experience the atmosphere, connection and achievement that comes from taking part in a running event.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why we’re now creating <strong><em>Give Us A Push</em></strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Give Us A Push is a service providing specialist running chairs to disabled and terminally ill people, helping them take part in running events they otherwise may not be able to access.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our aim is simple: remove barriers and create opportunities for more people to experience race day, whether that’s a 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And if someone wants to take part but doesn’t have anyone to push them, we want to help make that possible too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re now fundraising again to help us take the next step.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re raising money to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>buy a second specialist running chair, so more people can take part in events
</li>
<li>maintain our existing chair so it stays safe, reliable and race-ready
</li>
<li>support the growth of Give Us A Push so we can help more people in more places
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This started with three friends wanting to share the road together again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we want that opportunity to be available to others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help us grow Give Us A Push and allow more disabled and terminally ill people to experience the joy, energy and community of taking part in a running event.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of the journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rob, Paul &amp; Alex 
</div>
