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.

I and my wife had a misunderstanding which led to a huge fight and she left home and returned back to her fathers house. I let my emotions got the best of me and stayed permanently away from her. Things grew worse when she started seeing another man and I never knew about it. I tried fixing the problem and getting her to return back home and she never came back. I later found out all that has been going on and decided to seek help to fix my marriage with her which made me contact Dr Isikolo. Just as expected he worked for me and the problem was fixed and I am reunited with my wife. She returned back home just after 48 hours as promised by Dr Isikolo. I am forever indebted to him for fixing the problem I had in my marriage. kindly contact him for fast and urgent Help, Text him on WhatsApp via: +2348133261196 or go through his webpage: https://isikolo-temple.com

Hello to everyone around the globe. I’m Jefferey Vargas from Malta. My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money and aside from God, having more money is often seen as vital. For spellcasting, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation, but after connecting with Lord Meduza, he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 million by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers. Everything feels almost unreal but I assure you this is genuine and it’s occurring. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza as his efforts are the epitome of excellence.. I strongly encourage everyone here to reach him for help via email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or you WhatsApp this number +1 (807) 907-2687.
Just as farmers feed pigs to fatten them up until they reach market size, such is the nature of the “Pig Butchering Scam”—a cruel and calculated scheme I recently experienced. It nearly cost me my life and left me feeling hopeless, until I came across SpyHost Cybersecurity Company.
How did it all start?
It began when I stumbled upon a widely advertised investment company on Meta (Facebook), promising unbelievably high returns. Blinded by the hope of securing a better future for my children and future generations, I invested everything I had—10 BTC. In hindsight, it was greed and desperation that led me into such a devastating trap. But life sometimes throws us into the worst situations so that we can learn the hardest lessons and gain invaluable experience.
At this point, I urge everyone out there to be extremely cautious with any investment opportunity that seems too good to be true—because it probably is.
Fortunately, my story took a positive turn when a member of a social media group I belonged to referred me to SpyHost Cybersecurity Company. Skeptical but desperate, I decided to give them a try. To my absolute astonishment, they turned out to be legitimate experts in crypto asset recovery.
From the moment the recovery process started, I was speechless. I had heard of hackers and cybersecurity specialists before, but SPYHOST truly exceeded all expectations. Within 72 hours, they recovered my lost funds using advanced tools and software—some of which are only available on the dark web. They described my case as “severe,” making the successful recovery even more impressive and a testament to their expertise.
SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY can be contacted via:
[Spyhost@cyberdude.com] or WhatsApp: +1 (228) 313‑3152
This is the least I can do to show my gratitude—and to help others who might be going through a similar situation. If you’re a victim of crypto fraud, do not lose hope. Reach out to SPYHOST. They are the best in the field.
