I know, I know, it’s not even Christmas yet. But we wanted you to have a wee think about something…
January is a busy month for us. And we like it that way, frankly! It’s busy because lots of you lovely lovely people get to the beginning of January, and sign up for marathons. And 10ks. Or decide to organise your own event. All in the name of fighting MND.
This year, we thought we’d try and give all these New Year’s Resolution-ers a helping hand.
We’ve pulled together a huge list of events taking place throughout next year, and will be loading them into a calendar of events on our main website (www.mndscotland.org.uk)
Once it’s all launched and ready, there’ll be a special button to click next to all the events, which will enable you to make a New Year’s Resolution to do that event. If you don’t see something you like, you can organise your own event. Or if you’d like to do an event but we’ve not listed it, then you can tell us about it!
Do something special for MND Scotland
Now we know that one of the best ways to keep a New Year’s Resolution is to tell everyone you know. So once you’ve made your resolution we’ll help you do that (plus we’ll add you to our Wall of Fame)– in fact, we’ll help you get registered for your chosen event, we can give you tips for making the most of your JustGiving page, we can send you branded tshirts and sponsor forms and all sorts of stuff… everything you need to help you keep your resolution.
What will your resolution be?
It’s 4 marathons in 2012 for me – Wales and Scotland in the spring and then Ireland and England in the autumn. Quite daunting – I’m on track for having run 1000km (620 miles) in 2011 but by my estimation I’ll need to almost double that mileage next year!
I’ll be fundraising at : http://www.justgiving.com/mndscotland
As Emma (my daughter) would have been 21 in 2012 I have also set up https://www.justgiving.com/teams/Remembering-Emma so I can get my friends involved in some other events.

Heya Ross,
Didn’t realise that it would have been Emma’s 21st next year. I think the idea of raising £2100 in her memory is lovely – anything we can do to help at all, we’ll be here. ^ST
