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’m Thomas Yi from the United States. I started playing lottery games 4 years ago and I have never won big. I went online to seek help on how I can win big in my lottery games and I saw some nice reviews about Abdul Basser who has made different people huge winners in their lottery games with his prayers. I gave it a try and I contacted Abdul Basser who told me how and what to do before I can become a big lotto winner and I accepted. He made special prayers for me at his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lotto game and when I played it, I won a massive $235.4 million POWERBALL jackpot. I was so happy and I chose to receive my winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $160,038,447.27 at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee and the balance was given to the store that I bought & played the game from. I would love other people to seek help from him and he can be contacted through WhatsApp/call/text via this number +27717403094 or you can email him on: basserabdul59@gmail.com or visit his website at https://africanancientspells.mystrikingly.com/.

My name is Joyce Abraham, and I live in Framingham. I want to sincerely thank Prof Ibrahim for his amazing help in revealing the lottery winning number that led me to win $4 million in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “777” instant ticket game. After asking Prof Ibrahim for help, he told me that he will need to cast a lottery spell so that he could reveal the lottery winning numbers to me so I provided the requirements to cast the spell and after casting the spell, he shared the winning number with me, and I won. I chose a one-time payment of $2.6 million before taxes. I’m truly grateful for Lord Bubuza’s guidance and the blessings he’s given me. His help in revealing the winning number was a miracle, and I will always be thankful. With this money, I plan to buy a new home. This win is proof of his power, and I’ll continue to thank him. If you need help with the lottery, I highly recommend contacting Prof Ibrahim via email: profibrahim98@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +27785149508,https://africanspellcaster.mystrikingly.com
