I'm challenging 27 to fight MND

This challenge is personal.

My aunty has Motor Neurone Disease (MND) — a cruel and relentless condition that slowly takes away the ability to move, speak, and even breathe, but never touches the person’s spirit.

Before MND, my aunty was everything you could hope for in a role model:

A passionate teacher, shaping lives and lifting up those around her.

An adventurous traveller, collecting stories and memories from around the world.

A deeply caring soul, always giving love freely — not just to family, but to anyone lucky enough to cross her path.

Even now, in the face of MND, her kindness, humour, and strength continue to shine through. She reminds me every day what it means to live with grace and courage.

So, I’m taking on the 27 Day Challenge — for her, and for the thousands of others affected by this disease. Each day, I’ll be pushing myself, raising awareness, and helping fund vital research and support services.

MND takes away so much. But it can’t take away our hope.

It can’t take away our fight.

And it definitely can’t take away the love we carry for the people who inspire us.

Any donation big or small will make a difference! 

This one’s for you, Aunty 💙
