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.

Thank you so much for reading.

Cryptocurrency has become more popular and because of this, it has left many of us with an increasing number of people with bad intentions trying to take advantage of new technologies. Due to this I would encourage following a strict security protocol, which will enable you to secure your cryptocurrency assets, protect them from fraudsters and be safe from any potential losses. I tried investing in Cryptocurrency Via a trading Platform, I studied the platform and invested some money in it and I was advised to keep on depositing more to be able to receive some additional profits. The honest truth is that I would never do cryptocurrency because this trading platform kept on scamming me of my money. In case have fallen prey to this and you’ve lost your money or life savings like I did; you can contact intelfoxrecovery (@) mail (.) com. These are the best recovery agents I’ve worked with so far. They were able to recover about 85% of all I lost and the good thing about them is that they are able to council you and will also let you know if they can handle your case or not, they will not just take your money when they already know they will not be able to help you out.
My name is Bocheng Mei, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to Chief Ade for completely transforming my life. Just a few months ago, I was facing serious financial difficulties and had almost given up on the idea of a better future. A close friend introduced me to Chief Ade, and after speaking with him, I decided to try his spiritual help, even though I was skeptical at first. He performed a powerful ritual for me and gave me specific instructions to follow. To my absolute shock and joy, I ended up winning the 60 million lottery jackpot not long after! I still wake up every day in disbelief. Chief Ade, your spiritual powers are truly beyond explanation. You’ve changed my life and the lives of my entire family. I’ll forever be grateful for your kindness, wisdom, and powerful gift. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” — Bocheng Mei. Chiefadespellhome@gmail.com || WhatsApp +234 901 380 6328
