FROM BEN:

Hello everyone,

As you may or may not know my good friend Matt Lear was a huge catalyst for fundraising for my van over two years ago. By running 620km's he got a large chunk of funding for the van for his efforts. Well he doesn't do things by halves so he has signed up to run the Auckland Marathon in September to raise money for my ongoing battle with MND i.e Tobii Communication software & computer (see link below), bathroom conversion & a possible treatment.

Here's a word from Matt:

"Hello all I have entered the Auckland Marathon this year to fundraise for my friend Ben Hall who most of you know suffers from Motor Neuron disease. We are looking to raise money for Ben to buy a computer system that will help with communication, this little guy costs 30k so hopefully can make a dent in that. Even if you can donate $1 it all helps. People like Rob Spence however I expect a decent amount. Similar to last time below is what you will get if you donate

1) You will be helping out a good man and if your friends with me chances are you could do with doing a good deed
2) Knowing I'll be in pain for over 6 months while training and knowing that I hate running so double rainbow
3) Knowing I'll be in a lot of pain on the actual day and you can feel free to pelt me with pillow cases filled with bars of soap on the way round the course
4) Invite to exclusive after party/BBQ, my house holds twelve so first twelve in win
5) Biggest donation can choose what I wear (No Liverpool kit)

Feel free to share with others"

I have created an account for funds to be donated into.
