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.

It’s a big privilege to share with you all. My name is Justin Simporis, from surrey canada. Want to say a big thank you to Dr Marcus for making me who I am today. I ve been playing the lottery since I was much younger. but I’ve never won a single dollar. I got introduced to Dr Marcus by a previous winner, and he saids he is going to help me win the lottery. This time I was so happy, he cast the lottery spell and said I should wait for a few days to get the result.On that faithfull day may 9 2025, I went out to pick up burns and cheese in Central Surrey. When I got a message from him, that I’m favoured, I should play the lottery. I quickly bought a ticket for $12 as he instructed. and went back home around 10:30pm. I checked the BCLC website and I saw someone from Surrey had won the lottery. I began to check the winning numbers one by one . By the time I got through the first five of seven numbers, I realized that there was no winner in Surrey for having 5/7. I was trembling and quickly scanned my ticket in the BCLC app, and this time I screamed, I shouted I won the $80 millions. I cried, it was like a dream. I can’t believe it. I got a message from dr marcus congratulating me when i haven’t told him i have won. he’s indeed a great spell caster he sees beyond human imagination all thanks to him. reach him on his whatsapp +2348110492028 email drmacusspellcaster@gmail.com there’s a room for everybody.

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, he’s accessible via Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com OR Whats-App: +1 807 907 2687 or go to his Face-book Page: Lordmeduza
