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.

For many years, my marriage was filled with constant arguments, disrespect, and emotional distance. Despite being blessed with two beautiful children, the love and peace we once had slowly disappeared. I was heartbroken but still deeply in love with my husband, so I went searching online for a solution—and that’s when I found Dr Ajayi. I read powerful testimonies about how he helped people with marital problems, financial breakthroughs, dream job positions, healing herbs for sicknesses, and more. I contacted him, and through a spiritual consultation, he revealed that my husband was under a love spell cast by a female colleague who wanted him for herself. I was shocked, but Dr Ajayi reassured me and went to work immediately. Within days, the spell was broken, and my husband returned to the man I fell in love with. Now our home is filled with love and peace again. Contact Dr Ajayi and say goodbye to relationship pain.

I Thought I’d Lost Everything—Until TROYHACKS CYBER SECURITY COMPANY Stepped In
Losing $750,000 to a fake forex company was more than just a financial blow, it was the most devastating experience of my life. I was lured by flashy advertisements, slick websites, and what appeared to be genuine conviction. Everything looked professional and convincing, right down to the last detail. But once my money was gone, so were they.
For weeks, I couldn’t sleep. I kept asking myself how I didn’t see it coming. I had poured years of hard work, savings, and trust into what turned out to be a professional scam. It felt like the end.
Then came the turning point—TROYHACKS CYBER SECURITY COMPANY
After reading stories from others who had recovered their stolen crypto and funds, I reached out to TROYHACKS CYBER SERVICE a cybersecurity and digital forensics firm known for taking on complex cyber fraud cases. From the very first interaction, their team showed unmatched professionalism, technical expertise, and most importantly—genuine empathy.
They didn’t just listen to my story; they acted. Through detailed digital asset tracing, cyber investigations, and relentless pursuit, TROY HACKS CYBER SERVICE was able to help me recover a significant portion of what I thought was lost forever. Their approach was thorough, confidential, and incredibly effective.
If you’ve fallen victim to a similar scam, don’t give up. Whether it’s a hacked crypto wallet, lost passwords, online fraud, or investment scams-TROYHACKS can help. I say this not out of hope, but from experience.
You can reach out to them via email at (Troyhacks@cyberservices.com )or WhatsApp them at +1 (260) 237-6241
I never thought recovery was possible—until I saw it happen.
