What's Your Marathon?
Raising for Leeds Hospitals Charity
Hello, my name is Ian and I was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in March 2019.
Inspired by my friends and family, and of course our wonderful grandson Benjamin, we are once again taking on the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon to raise money to support the Leeds Hospitals Charity appeal for the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease. This state-of-the-art MND Care Centre has become a beacon of hope for those living with or affected by MND, it will without doubt give people with MND and their families the best possible care and support.
I’m privileged and humbled that I’ve been loaned the running wheelchair Rob used in 2023 to complete the inaugural marathon. So this one is for him and the centre which carries his name.
Thank you so much for your support. Every single penny matters and will help families like ours.
Thank you,
Ian, Rachael, Charley, Isea and Benjamin xxxxx
