What is your reason? We asked Keith why he is Running for Parkinson's WA in the HBF Run for a Reason and he said "The reason is twofold, firstly a friend offered me the following reason many, many years ago: Do it, whilst you can, when you can, before you can't. And if I'm going to do it, then at least also include those who can't anymore and perhaps benefit them in some way or another, by raising some much needed funding.

In less than 4 weeks I am running the Great South Run (10 miles) for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association 🏃🏼♀️.    Motor neuron disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Motor neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the brain to the muscles throughout the body, enabling voluntary muscle movement. When these motor neurons degenerate and die, it leads to a loss of muscle control and function.   So far I have raised £670. £500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones. £750 could fund an MND expert researcher for a week. In the next 4 weeks I would love to reach £750. There is not yet a cure for MND so research is key!! If you haven’t already there is still time to donate, please click the link in the comments. Below is an infographic explaining MND and how it affects the body. #mnda #motorneuronedisease #fundraising #greatsouthrun

TIX: https://lnkd.in/eAXcQwHy Drugs like MDMA and psilocybin are being ushered into mainstream medicine, promoted as miracle cures for a host of psychiatric woes. But as psychedelics come to be seen as treatments for various types of psychological suffering, we are overlooking one of their most precious offerings: the potential for play. Through play, the invisible landscapes of our inner lives merge with the visible world we all perceive in our own unique ways. When we play, we always play with someone or something: it’s always a relationship: an encounter. And in this, and so much more, play is the Marrow of our compassion. To not play? Well, the best word for that is alienation: the estrangement from our own power to summon life in ourselves and an estrangement from other living beings. To exist as if everything is same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was. Join Dr. Ross Ellenhorn PhD, for an evening of play discussion on what Play can teach us about psychedelics. *A percentage of ticket proceeds will be donated to Cardea's non-profit The Furthur Fund.

We are doing Run for a Reason to raise money for Parkinson’s WA. They help people with Parkinson’s, the nurses know about the latest medicines. They help people by answering questions if you are u sure about anything. Mummy finds it harder to go to work and harder to go to sleep, except for the afternoons and she gets shaky if she doesn’t take her medicine. She can’t do Run for a Reason this year as she just had a foot operation. next year we hope she can walk the course. Thanks Lottie for making a difference!

I'm taking part in The May50k With only a couple of days and KMs left, support me as I smash out 150km in The May 50K to help raise funds to support life-changing research into the prevention, treatment and finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Any contribution, whether it be large or small, will help the fight against MS! Some facts about MS: * Over 33,300 Australians have MS and 3 out 4 of those are women. * MS is most commonly diagnosed between 20-40 years old. * 2.8 million people worldwide are living with MS. * Every 5 minutes someone, somewhere in the world is diagnosed with MS. * With sufficient funding, our researchers are 10 years away from stopping MS. https://lnkd.in/gHfcd8AX
