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’ve been attempting to expand my wine business in my hometown in White Plains. For the past 7 years, I do play the lottery in my spare time, but on this blessed day I came across an article about Lord Meduza’s spell to win the lottery. I contacted Lord Meduza to see if it would work and after I agreed to his terms and conditions for completing the task for me, he performed his magical powers for me and within 48 hours, he provided me with the numbers I needed to play the lottery, and I followed his directions. I found out at the store that I was the winner of a $105 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain but I looked again and I saw it was real. As I speak to you, My level has been elevated from grass to grace and I’ve come to know that life is more spiritual and with the Lord Meduza spell, you can actually win the lottery. Please join me in thanking Lord Meduza and his contacts are listed as follows;

If you’ve fallen victim to a scam, the first crucial step is to gather all transaction details, including wallet addresses, transaction IDs, screenshots, and any communication with the scammers. This documentation will serve as key evidence in your efforts to recover the stolen assets. Once you’ve compiled your information, seeking professional help becomes essential, but you must proceed with extreme caution. Many fraudulent services claim they can recover lost funds, only to scam victims a second time. That’s why I strongly recommend reaching out to a trusted and proven recovery service like ABLE RECOVERY SERVICES. They have built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and real results. Always look for firms with verifiable success stories, and check online forums or crypto communities where ABLE RECOVERY SERVICES is often recommended by users who have experienced real recovery outcomes. Personally, I lost a staggering sum of $2.4M plus to a sophisticated organized scam. The scammers lured me in with promises and continued to extract fees while assuring me that my funds would be returned. I was emotionally drained and felt utterly defeated. Then someone in an online crypto forum mentioned ABLE RECOVERY SERVICES, I decided to reach out to them. From the beginning, they carefully reviewed all my documents, analyzed the transaction trail, and explained their process in details. within just 32 hours, i received a notification that my stolen funds had been successfully retrieved and transferred back to into my Coinbase wallet. I felt relieved i was able to make a transaction to my bank account without complications. Their transparency and quick action make them the go-to choice for anyone facing crypto theft or loss of access. ABLE RECOVERY INFO: ablerecoveryservices @ proton.me / WhatsApp 39 3510 6317 25.
