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 fell for an address-poisoning scam and lost $422,000 worth of ARB tokens.
This is how I recovered my $422,000 worth of ARB tokens that were lost in a single transaction due to an Address-Poisoning Scam. My name is Montairo Harry. I’ve been involved in cryptocurrency for more than seven years, and I’ve never been careless or unsophisticated. However, I was caught off guard by an address-poisoning scam when I was attempting to make a single transaction to my other wallet, and it required the assistance of CAPTAIN MICHAEL EXPERT SERVICE in order to successfully recover it.Even though CAPTAIN MICHAEL could see that the scammer had divided up the stolen ARB tokens among smaller wallets, it only took CAPTAIN MICHAEL EXPERT seventy-two hours to successfully recover all of the stolen tokens. This merely demonstrates how address spoofing and poisoning have become more prevalent, continuing to take advantage of traders’ carelessness during transactions. I strongly advise everyone to exercise greater caution and steer clear of these scammers. If you do require CAPTAIN MICHAEL’s services, you can easily get in touch with them using the following information: Email address: captainmichaelexpert@consultant.com
