Staying away from home with late stage MND is an absolute mission. Specialist accommodation is massively rare so I stopped looking for accommodation that has everything I need a long time ago. Instead I find places that have enough space and hire or travel with all my equipment. To give you an idea my packing list for this trip had 76 items on it...
Of course I can't physically help to pack any of that, and trying to control too much of the process is a very fast path to massive frustration. However its not easy to let go when so much of that equipment is essential to keeping me alive and cared for, I need to have a lot of trust in my care team and thankfully I do.
Then of course there are the people who will physically push me around the London Marathon. Taking responsibility for my care at the same time. Not only do they have to be physically fit enough to comfortably run 26.2 miles, they have to monitor me and provide any interventions I may need. Distance running is traditionally a solo pursuit, taking on responsibility for me as well is a heroic effort in my view.
Then there are the people who organise the administrative side, the logistics and the publicity. Making sure all my equipment is where it needs to be, everyone has their accreditation, and that we raise some cash for research and care too.
In total that covers around 12 people. The vast majority of whom are unpaid. Those who are paid receive a fraction of what they deserve (that's a whole other blog post) and go above and beyond to help me a
ttempt these ridiculous challenges. Those 12 people are just the tip of the iceberg, my family, friends, trustees and of course all the amazing people who follow and support the charity all have my heartfelt gratitude. I don't really know how I've created this incredible support, or why so many people are willing to give up their time and energy to support me and the charity. It's beyond anything I hoped for or anticipated when we started Stand Against MND and I'm humbled by it.
It gives me the will to carry on, a purpose. Helps me maintain a positive attitude whilst being assaulted by the most brutal disease. Thank you. Every single one of you.

Most recovery companies will take your money again. I personally think they are the same set of people that run all of them, seems like an unending cycle and its too sad. The most crazy thing about the whole internet thing is how you can clone a website to make it look like the real one, I discovered so many people fell into this kind of scams. The only recovery company I know that works is steve wozniak wizard.

Greetings to you all out there. I was scammed by a fake online crypto investor, I got a message from a trader on my Facebook who told me about how high their profit was after investing with them, I decided to invest in the online trade because I wanted to make more profit to set up a business because my job wasn’t enough to take care of myself and my family, invested $76,000.00 worth of bitcoin. I was promised that I will be able to withdraw my profit after one week of investment. when it was time for me to withdraw the profit. I tried to make a withdrawal and it failed. I informed the trader about it and he asked me to pay more money as the withdrawal charges. was a bit strange to me. I wasn’t informed earlier that I have to pay extra money to be able to withdraw my winning profit. I did as he instructed and made another deposit of $7,000.00, thinking I will be able to finally withdraw my profit. but he kept asking for more money until I realized that I was being scammed. I couldn’t let go because I invested all the money that I was saving to set up a new business. I was confused and lost for days because the world was against me. I had to do research to see if there is anything I can do to recover my money back and I came across the comment about Steve Wozniak Wizard after so many searches.

Referral for Expert Crypto Recovery Services – Proven Results with TREK Tech Corp
My name is Franziska Tamino, and I am based in Germany, where I am engaged in the real estate sector. Two months ago, I experienced a significant financial loss, totaling $2.3 million in Bitcoin and USDT, due to the actions of a fraudulent investment firm. The incident was initiated when I received an appealing proposal from an organization called CANCAP, which promised substantial returns and displayed verified investor profits, prompting me to invest the entire amount.
Subsequently, I faced persistent demands for additional payments when attempting to withdraw funds. Shortly thereafter, their website disappeared, and all attempts to establish contact proved unsuccessful. I was left in shock, with my hopes of recovering the funds diminishing rapidly. Despite my efforts to involve authorities, these fraudsters remained elusive.
Approximately one month after the incident, while conducting online research, I came across an article about TREK Tech Corp, a firm renowned for its expertise in cryptocurrency recovery. I reached out to them and was profoundly impressed by the professionalism and efficiency demonstrated by their team. Utilizing advanced software tools, they successfully recovered $1.8 Million USD from the total amount within just 72 hours—despite the scam having occurred months prior. I remain deeply grateful for their assistance and continue to be in awe of their capabilities.
