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 fell victim to a highly sophisticated crypto phishing scam that completely drained my Bitcoin wallet. The experience was devastating I had invested years of savings, and in just a few moments, everything was gone. At first, I thought there was no hope of recovery, especially since most people warned me that crypto losses were irreversible. But then I discovered Astraweb, and reaching out to them was the best decision I made. From the first consultation, they were professional, transparent, and clear about the recovery process. Their team used advanced blockchain forensic tools to track the movement of my stolen funds across multiple anonymous wallets and mixing services. To my surprise, Astraweb managed to trace and recover a significant portion of my lost Bitcoin within days. They kept me updated at every stage, provided me with evidence of progress, and handled my case with absolute confidentiality. Thanks to Astraweb, I recovered what I had assumed was lost forever. If you’ve been scammed or had your crypto stolen, I strongly recommend contacting them their expertise is unmatched in the recovery space.

For many years, my marriage was filled with constant arguments, disrespect, and emotional distance. Despite being blessed with two beautiful children, the love and peace we once had slowly disappeared. I was heartbroken but still deeply in love with my husband, so I went searching online for a solution—and that’s when I found Dr Ajayi. I read powerful testimonies about how he helped people with marital problems, financial breakthroughs, dream job positions, healing herbs for sicknesses, and more. I contacted him, and through a spiritual consultation, he revealed that my husband was under a love spell cast by a female colleague who wanted him for herself. I was shocked, but Dr Ajayi reassured me and went to work immediately. Within days, the spell was broken, and my husband returned to the man I fell in love with. Now our home is filled with love and peace again. Contact Dr Ajayi and say goodbye to relationship pain.
