Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This year I will running the Bath Half on March 11th followed by the Brighton Full Marathon on April 15th 2012.

We sadly lost my Aunt to Motor Neurone Disease a few years back and I have always wanted to do something like this in her memory.  Over the last few years I have slowly worked on and improved my fitness and I finally think I am up to this challenge. My main aim is help the MNDA raise awareness of this disease and the research that is being conducted.

As with so many other aspects of MND, it is difficult to be precise about the longer-term prognosis of anyone diagnosed with the disease. There have been rare occasions when someone with MND has lived for over 30 years and others when someone has died within a few months. The average life expectancy is between two and five years from the onset of symptoms. Approximately 10% of people with MND will live for around 10 years.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
