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.

I lost about $945,000 USDT to an online MT5 trading platform few months back after I got lured into the trading platform with the hopes of earning 5% profit daily trading on the platform. This period was a hell of a time for me as I could hardly pay my bills and get my feeding routine done. I had to confide in my close friends who then introduced me to the best crypto recovery team with the best recovery software. I contacted them and they were able to recover my stolen digital assets with ease using their tech prowess. It was indeed an amazing service, this will forever be the best service I got on the internet. I strongly recommend this team to anyone going through similar situation with their investment or fund theft to speedily lookup this team for the best appropriate solution so as to avoid getting burnt by other fake recovery agents.

I am posting this review here because I want to be of help to anyone out there, who in one or two ways have been scammed by online investment platforms. After going through a lot to recover my bitcoin although many people told me it’s impossible to recover your bitcoin If you’ve lost your bitcoin as a result of investing in binary options, trading platforms, your account was hacked or other bitcoin related scams or lost money to scammers online in whichever ways then You’re not alone. (I lost over $65,950 to skyrockettrade). Being a scam victim myself, I tried several means to recover my funds all to no avail, till I came across a cyber crime and recovery expert’s address online by name jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com He literally saved my life, all i lost to these fake investors skyrockettrade was recouped in just a few days (a total of 3.7721 BTC) was recovered, Kindly send a message to the contact below if you’ve been in such situations and you are seeking recovery // jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp ++316 (5744) 6248.. and thank me later..
Contacting a recovery agent would probably be more of a lame joke to me than an advice a couple of months back before I made a slip and lost $970,600 in the sad process unfortunately. All options came down to contacting a recovery agent and I did. I got details about Mr. JAMES MCKAY WIZARD RECOVERY from my long hours of surfing the web. I saw a post about him on reddit and I decided to give it a shot. Since I do not have any other option and nothing more to loose at this point. I immediately contacted him and that’s the best decision I’ve made. I would have lost all my retirement benefits to these fraudsters. He got the money back swiftly, it was barely a challenge to him. His work is up to par and I recommend him, I have introduced a couple of my other friends to him too. you can contact him on jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +3165.7.4.4.6.2.4.8. you can do well to thank me later
