Andy Laird's Fightback Fund

I did it. In spite of my MND. 26 days of 26 steps. Thank you to everyone who has made a donation through this page, you have generated a tremendous amount of cash which will be invaluable to the MND Association.

Despite the rain Dad and Trevor completed their egg and spoon race this morning. It was a friendly competition and each was accompanied by their wife just in case there were any dropped eggs – there weren’t! Dad won the coin toss and chose to go first. He completed his lap in 4 mins 33 seconds, Trevor completed his in 4 mins 24 secs making him the winner, well done Trevor and a really good effort Dad also started his marathon of mini marathons yesterday. It was a busy day for him! Using his wheelie walker he’s going to do 26 steps on 26 days, that’s every day in April except Sunday. It's going to be a challenge but he'll do it!!! One down, 25 to go!

So Andy has laid down the gauntlet! We have had a dry run of the Egg and Spoon Race round the block. The best lap-time was around three minutes for the 400m course. I am up for the challenge, and prepared to risk life and limb at the break-neck speed of 4mph! Your financial support and verbal encouragement would be appreciated. The training regime has begun in earnest. So, Andy bring it on. I’ll see you on the track on April fools day. And don’t forget the creme egg! Trevor

Trevor came round yesterday to check out the equipment, the scooter and of course the route we will be taking. All went well and the event promises to be great! I can’t wait to get going on it!
