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.

My dad added me in a forum online where I met people testifying about, a hacker, Software Specialist who is helping hundreds of people all over the world in recovering their scammed/stolen funds. Frankly speaking, am glad he did because I needed help to recover back my funds though I had not mentioned anything to him. An investor I met on Telegram introduced me to cryptocurrency. I loved the idea and opted to invest through the site. These people will lure you by accepting you to make your first withdrawal depending on how much one invests with them. I contacted intelfoxrecovery (@) mail (.) com when it became impossible to withdrawal my funds worth $83,000 anymore and the guys whom I invested with, went silent on me. I gave Intel Fox Recovery all the required information and after 3 days of working, he recovered my funds. I was surprised and grateful at the same time. I really appreciate my dad for introducing me to the forum. If you are in the kind of situation I got myself into or scammed through the following: crypto Scams, Impersonation Scam, Investment Scam, Romance Scam, Purchase Scam or even an Invoice Scam, get in touch with the Intel Fox Recovery team before it’s too late.

Hello everyone, my name is Kiara Hahn from California. I want to share my story about a powerful spell caster named Dr. EASBNAM. I was heartbroken when my fiancé left me without warning, and I spent the last month feeling confused, guilty, and devastated. Desperate for help, I searched online for relationship advice and found Dr. EASBNAM, who has helped many people with their relationship problems. I reached out to him, and he promised to bring my fiancé back to me within 72 hours. After following his instructions, my fiancé surprisingly showed up at my doorstep, apologized, and now we’re living happily together again. If you’re having relationship issues, you can contact Dr. EASBNAM at: mail whatsapp him on +2349134682114 or also contact him via his Facebook page: https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552423487938&sk=about
