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.

ALL THANKS TO TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.
I’m veronica 54 years old from Venice, Italy.
I was finally able to recover my lost USDT and some BITCOIN I sent to a Fake Forex Guru I met on Facebook some months ago.
As a financial market enthusiast. I was thrilled at the results ( profits) they do post on their Facebook page every day.
I decided to give it a try and I sent them a private Message which took them less than 24 hours to reply.
After the discussion I had with them and more results of investors shown to me, I was convinced they are genuine and I decided to invest the sum of 40,200 USDT for a start.. i signed the agreement and all necessary document with MOU ( memorandum of understanding).
After the first 3 months I got returns on investment as agreed.
Then I decided to add more funds to my portfolio with them with the sum of 12,000 USDT in BTC conversation.
After another cycle to get my returns on investment, they came up with stories, demanding I needed pay certain amount of money before I can make withdrawals of which was not the case on initial withdrawals and wasn’t also on the agreement.
I was so confused, dumbfounded. after several attempts to get back my funds and to which i couldn’t. i decided to open up to a colleague about the incident and he made me to fruther realised i’ve been swindled. On trying to look for a means to get my funds recovered if it’s ever possible.
I was lucky to trip over TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY’s testimonies by a blog post online and i contacted them.
After reaching out to TROJANHACK with effective communication, providing necessary information. They were able to recovered my lost USDT AND BITCOIN within a week. I’m forever grateful to them for bringing restfulness back to my life and finance.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza… If you seek for assistance in any aspect of your life, WhatsApp Meduza via: +1 (807) 907-2687 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com
