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.

I gave it all i had to make it work in my marriage but he still left me and our kids. His family fought for me and still nothing changed and he left broken and sad. I manage to keep going on with the hope everything will get better for us one day and he will be back to you. He is a great father to the kids and i had great belief i will see him return back to us. I was lucky enough to got in contact with Dr Isikolo who indeed knew how to fix the problem and he did and to my surprise, my husband came back home to me. I am still amazed how it was possible but indeed this true. The result of his work is assured to manifest after 48 hours. My husband returned and i know better Dr Isikolo is truly a honest man anyone can trust. He is good in his job of fixing problems between partner and have them get back together again. You can read about his works on his page: https://isikolo-temple.com or might as well text him via WhatsApp on: +2348133261196.
This is my testimony on how I finally joined the new world order, Illuminati after I have been trying to join for over 2 years now but scammers took money from me several times. I have been searching to join the Illuminati for so long, but scammers keep taking my money until early this year when I meet with Lord Felix online I contacted him and I explained everything to him and he recommended the registration used and I paid for the big member to get me started and I was initiated into the World Order online and I receive the sum of $1,000,000 us dollars in to my bank account instantly after my online initiation ritual and also I will be earning $33,000 us dollars monthly, I’m very happy! And promise to spread the good work of Lord Felix. If you are interested in joining the new world order Illuminati today, contact Lord Felix today instead of accepting scammers to take your money all in the name of helping you join, Contact Lord Felix Via email illuminatiofficial565@gmail.com or WhatsApp +447918641801
