My story

In 2009 my dad, Fleck, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
Against all odds, he is still with us as we enter 2025.

In 2013, on my dad's instruction, I started to train for the 2014 Great North Run.  This was the first running event I ever did at the age of 38 and I haven't stopped since.

In 2025, I will be turning 50 years old and I've set myself the challenge of running 50 half marathons between 1st January and 31st December.  There will also be a sneaky Edinburgh (full) Marathon in May which is my first official marathon event.

I hope to use my half marathon adventure to promote awareness of MND and to raise some money for MND charities.  

I live in Scotland, whilst my parents live in Cumbria, England.  As a result I've decided that any money raised will be split evenly between The Motor Neurone Disease Association and MND Scotland
