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.

HOW DID I GET ACCESS TO MY CRYPTOCURRENCY WHEN THE TRADING PLATFORM DID NOT ALLOW ME TO WITHDRAW MY FUNDS of $399k , I was introduced to a cryptocurrency trading platform Bitmart. where I invested my entire savings, they didn’t allow me to withdraw my profits or my investment funds even after paying all sorts of ridiculous fees.but thanks to WIZARD BRIXTON GROUP OF HACKERS I’m a disabled veteran and losing my funds to these platforms has caused me all forms of financial distress and depression. I was very lucky to have come across WIZARD BRIXTON GROUP OF HACKERS email :Wizardbrixton at gmail dot com , which was able to help me recover my crypto after their investigation, they found out the platform was a scam site and was only after my investment funds. WIZARD BRIXTON GROUP OF HACKERS was able to recover all my funds. I’m truly grateful and I highly recommend their services to everyone affected by this scam.

It is amazing how quickly Dr. Excellent brought my husband back to me. My name is Heather Delaney. I married the love of my life Riley on 10/02/15 and we now have two beautiful girls Abby & Erin, who are conjoined twins, that were born 07/24/16. My husband left me and moved to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. I have tried many options but he did not come back, until i met a friend that directed me to Dr. Excellent a spell caster, who helped me to bring back my husband after 11hours.
