Thanks for taking the time to visit my Justgiving page.

I am running the Birmingham Half-Marathon on the 20th October 2013 to support the Motor Neurone Disease Association and the work they do.

As part of my training i will also be running the Great Black Country 10k Road Race in Halesowen on the 22nd September 2013.

The reason i have chosen this charity is because my close friend and business associate Martin Garde (who many of you may know, as he has been our local Sandvik Engineer for many years) has sadly been diagnosed with this devastating and debilitating disease.

MND is a progessive and terminal disease that attacks the motor neurons or nerves in the brain and spinal cord, it can cause weakness and muscle loss throughout the body and effects people in different ways.

There is still a lot to learn about the disease but with help from charities and research new advancements and trials are slowly being created, which hopefully one day will lead to a cure.

Donating through justgiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Justgiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity. 

So please donate now and help me to help the MNDA to find a cure for this terrible disease, and hopefully give sufferers a future!

Many Thanks

Karl
