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.

To anyone feeling trapped by bad credit, I truly understand. My name is Rose Anderson,, i felt like my financial life was a constant uphill battle. My credit score stocked at a dismal 512, tried applying for a better apartment and a reliable car but was met with rejection. It felt like past mistakes were forever holding me back. I tried other credit repair companies, only to have them take my money. I was beyond skeptical and convinced my credit was a lost cause, a permanent black mark. But then, a friend, who knew my struggles, urged me to try JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP. My guard was up, but something about their genuine approach felt different. They didn’t make empty promises; they offered a clear, step-by-step plan tailored to my situation. For the first time, I felt understood, not judged. They meticulously went through my credit report, identifying every derogatory mark, old medical bills, late payments, even a forgotten collection. They didn’t just dispute them; they worked tirelessly to make sure it was off, the results were astounding, just within few days JERRY LINK CREDIT GROUP cleared all the report and my score soared from 512 to an amazing 802. THANKS. you can reach them via; jerrylinkcreditgroup@gmail.com. They are just what you need. And thank me later
I’ve always loved playing the lottery, but for years I struggled financially. My friends and family often mocked me, saying I was wasting my hard-earned money on tickets without ever winning. Their words hurt deeply, but I never gave up hope because I was determined to change my story, I searched online for ways to win big. That’s when I came across countless testimonies of people sharing how Lord Bubuza cast a lottery spell for them, revealed the winning numbers, and they hit the jackpot. I reached out to him immediately. To my surprise, he responded and asked me to provide the requirements to cast the spell which I did. After the spell was cast, Lord Bubuza revealed 6 unique numbers to me. I played those exact numbers and to my greatest shock, I won $256 million jackpot. My life has been completely transformed, and words cannot express my gratitude.

Greetings to all, just because you had a poor outcome using spells doesn’t imply that everyone will have the same experience. I want to express my sincere thanks to Lord Meduza for assisting me in winning the lottery and for aiding me in my spiritual struggles. The spell that Lord Meduza prepared for me brought me to my current position. The lottery numbers he provided resulted in a $2 million Powerball win for me. Lord Meduza has supported me in a great deal spiritually, as I was aware of the spiritual assaults from my enemies. I am grateful to him for helping me restore significant balance in my life, and at this moment, I no longer face any spiritual attacks. It took Lord Meduza two weeks to complete my work but the key point is that I received what I deserved as the lottery winner of $2 million. If you need his help, Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com OR Whats-App: +1 807 907 2687 or go to his Face-book Page: Lordmeduza or visit his website: lordmeduzatemple.com
