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.

Your support means a lot to me!

Thanks!

Day 3

Wednesday 3rd Sep

Wednesday is gym day.

One of the first things my brother lost was muscle mass. Loss of movement in his arms first, followed by his legs, quickly resulted in large losses in muscle mass. This of course then has the rebound effect of making movement even more difficult.

Twice a week I workout in the gym, trying to increase my strength and muscle mass. Obviously for a completely different reason, however as I age just as important.

It’s hard, but not as hard as living with MND.

Another 50 minutes in the bank.

Day 2

Tuesday 2nd Sep

After a day that started with very sad news, I pulled on my big girl pants and set out for my walk. It’s a beautiful spring morning, and I live in a beautiful area where I can walk in a different space every day - it never gets boring. Increasing my run intervals, thinking of those we’ve lost. Another 30 mins, 2.8km in the bank.

Thank you to everyone who has donated ❤️
