Alexa’s story

In January 2026, Alexa was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) — a progressive condition that affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord, gradually changing how the body moves, speaks, eats and breathes.

Alexa and her family are moving into a new family home. To give her the independence, comfort and dignity she deserves, the house will need significant adaptations — step-free access, an accessible wet room, wider doorways, specialist equipment and smart-home technology that can adapt as her needs change.

These changes are costly, and they need to happen soon. That’s where you come in. Together, one run at a time, we can help Alexa live a full and fulfilling life in the home her family is building together.

What the money’s for

The house needs work before Alexa can live in it comfortably, and MND doesn’t wait. Everything raised goes on making the new home work for her, now and as things change.

Level access in and out of the house
A ground-floor wet room
Wider doorways for a wheelchair
A through-floor lift or downstairs bedroom
Equipment and home controls she can use as things change

Questions

Where do I run?

Anywhere you like: your street, the local park, a treadmill. It’s a relay that happens wherever you are. What matters is that someone is out running for Alexa in every slot.

I’m not that fast. Can I still do it?

Yes. The slot lengths are a rough guide (about 10-minute miles). Walk, jog, stop for a breather. Just book the slot and go at your own pace.

Do I have to raise money?

No, but it helps a lot. Share the donation page with friends and family and ask them to sponsor your miles.

Can I book more than one slot?

Please do. After booking, use “Book another slot” and your details will still be filled in.

What if I can’t make it?

Use the link in your confirmation email to give your slot back, so someone else can take it.

Can’t run? You can still help.
