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.

Sometimes last month my spouse started
misbehaving and acting weird she’s clingy with
her mobile devices which made me develop a
suspicious mindset towards her phone activities so I became curious to know what she’s been doing on her phone lately so I searched the internet for the best and efficient phone spying expert I found RecoveryBureauC through Mspy reviews from a trusted and verified user so I decided to give this tech genius a try to know if he can truly help me in my case. Fortunately for me it was the right step and best decision. I reached out to him via his contact address at RecoveryBureauC @ g mail, cOm and told him about my situation and he promised to deliver a satisfactory service at the shortest time possible which he did. I hired him and within few hours all information from her phone and internet activities popped in and it was as if I got her phone in my palm. I got to know she’s been cheating all along our relationship with a guy downtown which got me infuriated I’ve been channeling my resources in terms of affection, time and funds wrongly. I became depressed and when I showed her all proof and evidences she couldn’t deny it. It was all like a dream to me but kudos to the tech prowess of RecoveryBureauC via gmail, cOm who rescued me and restored my life back on track and reduce my losses.

My names are Christine Mc Adamson, am from Ohio, USA. 67 years old. Retired two years ago, I had a friend on social media who we always share business ideal and she seems to be very smart and I liked her so I told her about my pension funds and we finally agree to invest in crypto since it’s the fastest way to earn a higher profit, she showed me others trade she has done in the past, more than 20s so I was totally convinced that she got my back. I invested $325,000 on her platform only to discover I just got scammed, she blocked me and stop talking to me immediately I sent the money. That was all my life, i nearly died, was suffering from emotional betrayal cause I really trusted her. Am thankful to Cyberspace hackpro who rescued me, I read an article on BBC news, A lady named Mary wealth was able to get her scammed funds through Cyberspace, so I also give a try and it turns out to be a good one.
