STEVEN's 36 hour challenge to Raise funds for MND RESEARCH

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My friend Martin was diagnosed in October 2018, a healthy and physically fit , very caring man in his early 50s, just thought one day that he didnt feel quite right. So he went to the Doctor who sent him to the hospital for what he thought were routine blood tests - the kind we all have .

Can you imagine the horror when the next day you are informed that you most likely have an incurable illness !!

At 54 thats very scary ..

You will see Martins story attached to my page 

Please take the time to read it and donate if you can

ALL MONIES ARE GOING DIRECTLY TO MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE RESEARCH  

Remember using just giving can include Gift Aid which means an extra 25 %  and if you are self employed , it is also a taxable deduction from your personal tax bill , so PLEASE PLEASE SEND SOME MONEY for this very worthy cause ..

So my challenge for the 31st March 2020/1st April 2020 is to travel from the Cardington Driving Test Centre - where both Martin and I go

to MNDA head office in the UK in Northampton

then to MNDA Wales  ( near Swansea )

then to MNDA head office in Glasgow, Scotland

then to MNDA RESEARCH CENTRE in Sheffield

then back to the Driving Test Centre at Cardington 

The whole journey must be completed within 36 hours , but of course there is a catch

The journey is approximately 1000 miles , however there are a few hurdles to negotiate

Firstly all the offices are only open from 9am - 5pm and of course it is absolutely impossible to get from Cardington to Northampton to near Swansea and then  to Glasgow in 8 hours so my co driver and I will stay in a hotel overnight so as we can be in Glasgow on Day 2 first thing in the morning.

Glasgow to Sheffield Research Centre is a good 5 hour drive and from there to Cardington Test Centre is a further 3 hours..

Its going to be tough if there are any traffic issues or problems on the way to complete this task , but I shall endeavour to do it in the allocated time ..

All stops will have proof of where we are from the photographs, so you can follow the journey .. this will be updated on Facebook and Twitter

PLEASE READ MARTINS STORY and GIVE WHAT YOU CAN

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Due to the Coronavirus, this trip next fortnight has been postponed until 13th / 14th October as all MND offices and Research centre are unable to receive visitors at this time .. So this will give me more time to raise the funds for this charity which means a great deal to me
