Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My Dad was recently diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and as a family we know how tough this can be as his Mum (my Nanna) suffered with the same illness before she died.  Since the diagnosis we have had some superb practical and emotional support from the Motor Neurone Disease Association - a fantastic organisation whose tireless work helps to support families affected by MND and who fund vital research to try and find a cure.  I would now like to repay their support by raising as much money as I can for them.

I have been an enthusiastic runner for a long time now and have managed to post some respectable half marathon times over the years but have yet to tackle the full 26.2 miles of a marathon - until now!  I will be running the Manchester Marathon on 7th April 2019 and for a little added spice will be setting myself a target of 3 hours 15 minutes - so a long winter of hard training is on the cards. 

This will be the only time I ask for donations based on a running challenge so it's now or never - please give what you can for this worthy cause, and help this brilliant charity to continue offering vital support to those suffering at the hands of MND.  I can tell you from personal experience that it will go a really long way to helping families like mine who have been profoundly impacted.
