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.

During the pandemic, I made an attempt to invest my savings in a transaction conducted by a forex broker. Since then, I’ve been making attempts to withdraw my money, and each time, I’ve been asked to pay various fees in addition to the applicable taxes. I found out that it was all a fraud on June 30 of the previous month, and I have already lost a total of $148,000 because of it. A buddy of mine who is quite informed about the internet suggested that I use recoveryhacker101. I emailed them, and in response, they requested that we continue our conversation on WhatsApp. I did as they had instructed me to do. After getting in touch with recoveryhacker101 and waiting for 32 hours, I got a notification on my phone informing me that all of my money had been returned to me in its whole and without any explanations. I am putting this together because a significant number of people have informed me that they attempted to collect their money online but fell victim to a scam.

My Testimony – How I Joined the New World Order
I want to share my testimony about how I became a member of the great organization known as the New World Order.
There was a time in my life when I was drowning in poverty—so much so that I felt like I was on the brink of death. I tried several times to join the organization, but I kept running into fake people who claimed to be agents. They took my money and left me with nothing. It was heartbreaking, and I lost all hope.
Still, something inside me wouldn’t let me give up. I stayed focused on my dream and kept searching. Eventually, I met someone else who said he could help me join. At first, I didn’t trust him at all because of the pain and betrayal I had already experienced. He also asked for money, and that scared me—but then he sent me his official membership ID card. That gave me a bit of trust, so I took a leap of faith and sent the money for the initiation items.
What happened next amazed me. Within just 2 hours, I was initiated online, and shortly after that, I received $1,000,000 directly into my account. From that moment on, I knew he was genuine. He is the only agent I trust, and I will always be grateful for his help.
So if you’re serious about joining and ready to change your life, contact him on WhatsApp: +447365758728. Don’t let fear hold you back like it almost did with me.
