Story
Hi all,
This is going to be huge for me and I will need all the encouragement I can get please.
This June, I'm challenging myself to walk accompanied 21 miles between 1 June and 21 June to raise money to fund vital research, care and support for people affected by the disease.
My family unfortunately has the C9ORF72 inherited form of MND/FTD that was discovered in 2011.
We have so far lost 4 family members to this evil disease and more family members are now going through genetic testing.
I was the 1st one to have genetic testing back in 2013 and thankfully I don't have the defective gene C9ORF72 mutation.
I had a nervous breakdown in Dec 2014 and have been agoraphobic since. I am slowly getting back to myself with the help of my family, friends and therapy etc.
I will be walking 1 mile a day to not only raise funds for the MNDA but to help myself mentally and try and get physically fit again.
I'd be so grateful for your support, anything you can donate really will help to make a difference in the fight against MND. It will help to keep me motivated as I take on this epic challenge too! 💪
