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.

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 further 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.
They are special and I highly recommend them for anyone battling with such situation. You can reach out to them via their email:

I lost my marriage after 2 years and it was a horrible experience for me. My wife left me and my son and everything happened beyond my control and I never knew few people around me engineered my wife and turned her against me just because I choose to build my family and focus more on it. I had to seek help because I know I did not do anything to have my marriage crashed. Dr Isikolo helped me and a lot was revealed to me on what transpired. He cast a love reunion spell that bonded my wife and I back together and the whole evil my family did against me was revealed. Am thankful that my home is back more happier than ever and all the appreciation goes to Dr Isikolo as he indeed fixed my problems just after 48 hours.

Bonjour, je m’appelle Adléta Peter, je suis Tchèque et je travaille en France. J’ai été victime d’arnaques à plusieurs reprises par des prêteurs en ligne pour mes demandes de prêt. Jusqu’à ce qu’un collègue me recommande ce prêteur fiable en ligne, et j’ai obtenu mon prêt de 50000 euros auprès de ce prêteur authentique en ligne (leylarodriguez9499@gmail.com). Je suis ravie de partager ce témoignage positif.
My crypto wallet was hacked, and I lost $87,000 in BTC and $115,000 in ETH at the time of the breach. I was absolutely devastated, left in shock. In my search for a way to recover my funds, I suspected the breach had happened through my email linked to the wallet, but I couldn’t find any way to regain access, no matter what I tried. I reached out to everyone I trusted, but nothing worked. That was until an old colleague told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, a company specializing in crypto and funds recovery. Without hesitation, I contacted them, and I’m so glad I did. The Morphohack team was incredibly professional and effective, they not only helped me recover my crypto assets but also secured my wallet to prevent future breaches. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to contact Morphohack directly via E-Mail at Morphohack@ cyberservices.com.
