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 joined a Telegram group about passive income and crypto bots. The admins claimed they were running a DeFi protocol with insane returns. I got roped in after seeing fake screenshots from other “members.”
Within a month, I had sent $241,000 in USDT. When I wanted to cash out, I was told my wallet needed “manual verification” through an ETH payment.
That’s when I knew I’d been conned.
BitReclaim.com took on my case and got to work. They used blockchain forensics to trace my funds and worked with off-chain partners to freeze intermediary wallets. I’ve recovered 3.4 BTC and waiting for ERC20 disbursement.
Their Telegram is @bitreclaimer and phone is +1 310-893-5756. They made the impossible, possible.
I’ve read numerous stories of individuals losing bitcoin through fraud. I prefer to start by stating that the organisations in charge of bitcoin security have done nothing to assist in the recovery of lost or stolen coins. In my case, my computer was hacked and someone with access to my emails stole 4.3 bitcoins. I contacted blockchain right away, but they wasted my time. I then looked for help elsewhere and was directed to speak with a bitcoin professional who helped hunt down and recover my bitcoins for a charge. After the job was finished, I was more than happy to pay more. I’m glad I got help, and I want to urge you to contact recoveryhacker101@gmailcom.
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 review/contact him from his webpage: https://isikolo-temple.com

Hello everyone,
I want to take a moment to share my incredible experience with DR SARUMAN and the powerful spell they cast for me. When I first reached out to DR SARUMAN, I was feeling lost and overwhelmed by a situation that seemed impossible to change. I had tried everything meditation, advice from friends, even other spiritual practices but nothing seemed to work. From the very first consultation, DR SARUMAN approach was different. They listened carefully to my story and took the time to understand the depth of my struggles. What struck me most was their genuine compassion and confidence. DR SARUMAN explained that they would perform a custom spell tailored specifically to my needs, and I felt a renewed sense of hope. The process was transparent, and DR SARUMAN kept me informed every step of the way. They used a combination of ancient rituals, powerful herbs, and positive energy to craft a spell that was both potent and safe. I followed all of DR SARUMAN guidance and maintained a positive mindset. Within just a few days after the spell was cast, I started noticing subtle but undeniable changes. Opportunities that I had previously thought were out of reach suddenly appeared. My mindset shifted from despair to optimism, and I began attracting positive energy into my life. Over the following weeks, the situation that once felt impossible began to unravel in my favor. Most remarkable was the sense of peace and confidence I gained. I felt empowered, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders. Friends and family also commented on how much more positive and focused I seemed. To this day, I am truly grateful to DR SARUMAN for their skill, dedication, and the genuine care they showed throughout the process. Their spell has had a profound impact on my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking real change. Thank you, DR SARUMAN, for your incredible work.
