Half Marathon for Keith & Motor Neurone Disease

In 2022, Keith was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) which is the most aggressive form of the rare illness Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

As Keith can no longer work due to his condition, his close family and friends have decided to run the Heaton Park & Liverpool Half Marathon in March 2023. Half of the fundraising team will complete the Heaton Park Half Marathon on 19 March 2023 and the other half will complete the Liverpool Half Marathon on 26 March 2023. We aim to raise money for Keith and his family so Keith can enjoy a family holiday before he is no longer with us and to ensure we can make Keith feel as comfortable as possible in the time he has left.

We will also be donating a percentage of the money raised to the Stephen Darby Foundation which was launched by former Liverpool, Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers footballer Stephen Darby and close friend and British Forces Veteran Chris Rimmer. Stephen and Chris both have Motor Neurone Disease and have created a Foundation to create awareness of MND, to fund and assist research into the illness with the quest of finding a cure for the illness, to raise funds and offer grants to those with MND, as well as creating a network to help provide information and emotional support network for those diagnosed with the disease
