My charity run for this year is the Glasgow Half Marathon on 6th Octoberfor Motor Neurone Disease – The MND Association focuses onimproving access to care, research and campaigning for those livingwith or affected by MND which is a debilitating terminal disease.
I’m running for MND because:

Last year a friend, Becky and I set ourselves a challenge to celebrateour 60th Birthdays – we aimed to run a marathon in each nation of theUK. Becky succeeded and I failed (by just one marathon) due tounexpected surgery. We ran in Northumberland; The Giant's Causeway,South Uist and Becky ran in Snowdon.

But that is not why I am running for MND. When we ran our marathon inSouth Uist it was unsupported and was very close to Becky's birthday. Becky values her medals but being an unsupported marathon therewere not going to be any medals, except I contacted a lovely, very, verypositive lady, Ani, on the Islands and despite her MND she involved afriend and made the medals. Not only that but Ani would not hear of mepaying her. We have become friends and I look forward to seeing herevery time I'm on the islands. This is part of our training and fundraising. Becky is supporting me,training with me and running with me in Glasgow. We will then fly over
to the islands to meet up with Ani.

There will be a signup sheet on the notice board in the church hall inSeptember or please email (heatherwells@quavas.com) – please do letme know of any dietary requirements. Many thanks.
