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.  

I have a good mate who was recently diagnosed with MND and I want to do what I can to support both Brad and the greater challenge of finding a cure for 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. 

Your support means a lot to me!

Thanks!

Day 27 Finished ✅

Sunday 28th Sep
A special day in many ways. 
It marked the final day of the MND27 Challenge. 
I shared it with my father, my son and my granddaughter. 
We walked the streets of Clovelly where my mum and dad grew up visiting family homes, churches and a cemetery .
Feeling blessed 🥰

Day 26 - Almost there

Friday 26th Sep
Calisthenics this morning. A tough session and I struggled to complete all of the exercises. I'm grateful that my body allows me to exercise like I have every day for the past 26 days. There are so many people who don't have that luxury.

Back on the grass with one of my training partners (Andre). Great to be back and what a cracking day it is! Grass on 'Royal Jannali' was freshly mowed and the sun was shining. 6:45am start. Tow days to go with the 27MND Challenge
