Running for MDANZ!

Hi guys,

My name is Ellen, I'm 21 years old and in October I am running a marathon.

I decided I did not just want to do it for myself, but for others less fortunate than myself. So I decided to fundraise for this marathon. Not only for myself as motivation, but to help others.

I chose the Muscular Dystrophy Association because I wanted to help people with neuromuscular conditions. I personally know someone with a neuromuscular condition and this person inspired me to fundraise for this charity that is probably not commonly known.

There are many neuromuscular conditions that affect these people in many ways. I have personally witnessed some of these. This is what made me chose this charity. I feel honoured to be representing this charity knowing that hopefully I will be making a little bit of difference.

So please, any donation, even small, will help me to reach my goal.

Thank you very much,

Ellen.
