Team Cath

Sarah Thompson from Leeds has been inspired to take part in the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon by her incredible Auntie Cath Muir. 

Cath has been living with MND for the last nine years and despite having no use of her legs, arms, voice, or neck, Cath was pushed around last year's marathon by Sarah's parents in an adapted wheelchair. 

"My Auntie Cath and Uncle Ian have raised approximately £85,000 for MND over the years and are the most amazing team doing so much for the charity and people around them.

"From charity dances, walks, and creating artwork through eye gaze they work so hard and now I hope to join the efforts to help them raise funds for them and all others living with MND.

"I’m excited to take part as last year my fashion brand, TOM-O based in Leeds Corn Ex ran a project to support the 2023 marathon & MNDA we loved supporting the event with our up-cycled banners but this year it’s my turn to take part!

"My auntie is not taking part again in 2024. She may have some more challenges up her sleeve - she always wanted to do a marathon now that’s ticked off she’ll be planning something new to do I’m sure."

Good luck Sarah!
