I'm challenging 27 to fight MND

Hi there,

I'm taking part in FightMND's Challenge 27 to challenge not just my wellness goals, but also the Beast and be part of the fight towards a world free from MND.  

Challenge 27 is a powerful reminder that the average life expectancy for someone diagnosed with MND is just 27 months.

If you can, please support me by donating to my page. Every dollar counts, and all funds raised go to support FightMND’s mission to find a cure for motor neurone disease. 

I'm doing this in memory of my dad who passed away from MND 2 years ago.

The sooner we get earlier detection, more care and closer to a cure, will be fantastic!

Your support means a lot to me!

Thanks!

Last day of C27! I made it!

Saturday 27th Sep
C27 has come to an end - a bit bittersweet, but I will continue to walk most days - not for MND, but for myself.
I surprised myself by finishing 27 days in a row - I stuck with it and completed it. So proud!
I will never forget why I started this challenge in the first place, my dad, will always be in my heart and thoughts xx

One day to go...woohoo!!

Friday 26th Sep
With one day to go with my C27 MND challenge, I'm proud of myself! I never thought I'd be able to stick to it and see it through or be just a tiny bit, enjoying it.

Those that know me, could probably never think or see that I would do 27 minutes a day of consecutive walking (exercise!?), nor imagine to think that I would be up to 3.8km in continual walking for the last few weeks.

This has been with big thanks to my colleague co-walkers, Corey, Caren and my husband Stephen, who have been talking, walking, supporting and encouraging me every step of the way. On flat, grass, road, pathway, inclines - some steeper than others (I feel like they are massive hills), finding the great views in the street walking - mountains/hills, plains, broken glass on the roadway which helped me up the slightly steep inclines :) in wind, rain drizzle, heat, cold...they were by my side!
Thanks also to my fellow office workers who have also been encouraging me to get out in my lunch break and complete the walking. I could never have kept going without their urging and encouraging and 'holding the fort' at work while I was awol.  :)

Thanks also to all my donors/sponsors - family, relatives, friends and friends of friends....you all know who you are and with your beautiful giving hearts, along with memories of my dad, who never gave up in spite of MND...set me on this walking journey. I am so proud of myself, walking up to 3.8km most days (about 50 mins) - I have seen it through, despite the aches, pains and doubts. I did it - well almost, 1 day to go.

Did I find it hard? Yes! Am I glad I decided to sign up and complete the challenge? Yes! Was it worth it, to me? Yes! Did I have some whinging? No, well Yes...sometimes. I did find it hard - I didn't like exercising - I was sure I was 'allergic' to it.
Am I sad it's coming to an end? Yes, a bit. Will I keep on walking? Yes, maybe not every day, but, I hate to admit it, beginning to enjoy it. 

In memory of my dad, who I loved and adored (and still do) and fought MND until the very end. He inspired me to keep going. I miss him, we all miss him very much. This one was for him! I love you Dad. (You would have loved being a "Great Grandfather" Bob now xx)

Just over half way...

Sunday 14th Sep
Half way through the C27 challenge....I thought it would get easier, but each walk seems just as hard and as tiring as the last. But I'm not giving up! 
Those living with or who have lived with MND never have the chance to give up...and I won't either.
Thank you to my walking buddies, Caren and Corey who continue to walk with me and encourage me every week day, and my husband Stephen, who is walking with me on the weekends. I love your enthusiasm towards helping me reaching my set goal! You help me to keep going...even when it's tough!
Keep supporting your loved ones - in sickness and in health, especially those living with the beast that is MND.

MND C27 - 5 days down

Friday 5th Sep
Just a quick update - especially for my family, friends and sponsors!
First 5 days down - a huge thanks to Corey and Caren, who have become my walking buddies - encouraging me all the way, even when I want to stop. I'm proud of what I have done so far! Don't get me wrong, every night and every day i ache and it hurts!

For those of you that know me - I am sure you know I shy away from all that excercise stuff! So, this week has been harder than ever for me. I am certainly pushing myself. I just remember dad - he never gave up and continued every day no matter what!

It's not too late to make a donation - nothing is too small to danate and every bit helps.

Not too late to donate - 3 days to go

Thursday 28th Aug
I am only $11 away from my target fundraising goal of $600.
A big thank you to those who have already donated!
If you can, please jump on and donate on my page.  Every $1 helps in raising much needed funds for MND...the beast that took my dad's life, far too early.
Please, even if it's only $2 - consider donating!
3 days until I start challenging myself.

For you dad!

Tuesday 5th Aug

Thank you... too all so far.

Monday 4th Aug
Thank you to those who have donated so far.
It's not too late to donate, every dollar helps.
I reached my goal of $500, and have increased it to $600.
Even $5 will help to fight this beast that took our dad, Bob!
Please share on your page.
Love,  Kylie 🌷

One for you dad/Bob - Raising funds to fight for a cure that is a beast - MND!

Saturday 26th Jul
Doing this one for dad/Bob, who passed away 2 years ago from the horrible, beastly disease that is MND. 😢
I have been thinking about fundraising for this, as Bob was always supporting fund-raising in any way he could...for anyone he could, his kids, his grandkids, schools, Scouts, Guides, Little Athletics, Swimming...you name it he probably was involved in fund-raising somehow.
So this is for him. Maybe the start of a few, who knows, but I'm taking a leap with this one first.
I appreciate everyone's support, even if every family gave only $5.00, then my goal would be exceeded! Every bit helps.
Thanks...love Kylie. 💕
