Rob Burrow Marathon 2026 (and virtual marathon)

Phil Ward is raising money for Motor Neurone Disease Association and Leeds Hospitals Charity

My story

MND VIRTUAL & ROB BURROW LEEDS MARATHON 2026

I have MND and was diagnosed about the same time as Rob. 

I am part of a team which is pushing myself and fellow MND warrior Ian Flatt around the Leeds Marathon on the 10th May. 
Ian and I have special buggies (Mine kindly provided by AJM Healthcare).

I feel a fraud just sitting there while others push me around the course so in the days leading up to the marathon I will complete the distance (26 miles 385 yards) on my rowing machine.

Please sponsor us to help all warriors living with MND - the funds raised will be split between Leeds Hospitals Trust (Rob Burrow MND centre) and MNDA (West Yorkshire and Dales branches)


Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto Motor Neurone Disease Association and Leeds Hospitals Charity.
