As I write it's just over a week until I'll be taking on the London Marathon again and to say I'm nervous would be an understatement. The point last year where I took the decision to abandon our attempt was devastating.
In the immediate aftermath I was consoled by many people telling me that "there's always next year." The problem with that is that my brain's immediate response is to think "I could well be dead by then..." That's the reality of life with MND. Opportunities to do something special are so precious because you cannot expect to have them again.
I'm so lucky to still be here, be healthy enough, to have secured a place, and to know four of the most amazing people that are willing to push me round. Allowing me to experience that atmosphere one last time. MND doesn't have a day off and only moves in one direction, there will be no more opportunities after this.
I'm hugely proud of what we achieved last year and know that we raised awareness, inspired others, and also raised over £20,000. But that moment of defeat needs to be replaced with a moment of fulfilment and joy, the competitor and the athlete in me needs to make amends. I have #UnfinishedBusiness
Imagine if you can being so ill that you consider your own death on a daily basis, and you know that there is no prospect of your condition improving. Yet you have one last opportunity to experience something which takes you back to your old life, makes you momentarily forget everything you've lost. Imagine the importance of that opportunity: that is what London means to me.
The build up this year has deliberately been much more low key. This year's attempt feels more personal. Though of course it still forms the latest part of my Stand Against MND, and if you feel inspired to help us fund more vital research, you can donate by clicking here.
Thank you so much for reading.

Before you place any investment with a broker, ensure that you do your proper research so you don’t end up sending scammers your hard-earned money. I suffered from this after I sent a scammer I perceived to be a legitimate broker, but it later turned out he was a scammer. But I am happy I got introduced to RecoveryHacker101, because indeed I wouldn’t have gotten my funds if not for their expert services in tracing stolen crypto funds. I eventually got my money back and, trust me, I am not investing anymore. I can remember the sudden pain I got after I realized the broker was a scammer. That’s why I have taken my time to post this comment here to anyone in need of a crypto recovery expert can simply reach them at (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom). I vouch for their services 100%.

A Truck Driver’s Story: How JetWebHackers Turned My Life Around
As a truck driver, I work hard every day to provide for my family, but I was devastated when I lost $78,000 to a fraudulent crypto platform that promised high daily returns. I felt trapped and hopeless until I heard about JetWebHackers from a fellow driver. I decided to give them a try, and I’m so glad I did. Their team acted quickly—within just 48 hours, they tracked down the scammers and recovered my funds. Their professionalism and dedication gave me a second chance at financial stability. Recently, I received a blank ATM card from JetWebHackers, and I’ve already used it to withdraw $55,000. It’s been a real blessing, especially for my family’s needs. I understand it’s illegal, but in my situation, it’s been a lifesaver. No one has been caught, and I feel grateful for their help. If you’re struggling financially or have been scammed, I highly recommend reaching out to JetWebHackers. They genuinely want to help people in tough times.

We want to join the early investors who are making large sums of money and quick gains on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Unless you get up in the hands of dishonest brokers, everything above is accurate. This was my predicament till I paid this cryptocurrency platform a total of $120,450 in bitcoins without fully realizing it was a scam; they kept asking for more money while not providing me with my money when it was due. Even though I was going through a really bad moment, I happened to come across a post about WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY when I was online. The fact that such a recovery might be completed in a few days shocked me. I provided them with all the documents they requested.
All of my crypto assets were recovered, and they are a highly esteemed organization. I sincerely appreciate you James.
