Dedicated to the memory of Steve and raising money for Motor Neurone Disease in his name
Stephen 'Steve' Wilson, a one in a million man who always put other people first in his role as husband, father, grandfather and foster carer. He battled against adversity from birth in 1957 where his parents were told by Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital he would only survive a week, then following a kidney transplant in 1975 he was given a life expectancy of 6 years. However, in March 2019 he was given the news he had Motor Neurone Disease and knew that this was going to be his 3rd and final death sentence. Steve never let anything beat him but knew that MND had other ideas, following a short illness after getting a chest infection whilst on holiday in Santorini, Greece and spending 2 weeks in Athens in Intensive Care on an intubator we were able to fly him home to Norwich where his respiratory consultant had arranged hospital care. Whilst Steve's ultimate aim was to get home before passing away he passed away peacefully in Norwich with Lisa by his side holding his hand. Steve will be sadly missed by so many people who's lives he touched.

It's now just over 16 months since you were collected and your soul was taken to another place, today I'm going to be running a virtual Santa Run with Jo who's mum was also cruelly taken by MND.....you will always be a big part of me as I often talk about you especially as because of you........I wouldn't be the person I am today......you taught me so much.......and I will always be grateful for that xxx

People think I will do the GNR easily as I've done other half and full marathons before so many times but I am finding it hard to get my fitness up again after my hamstring injury in December and being on crutches for a few weeks and the weight gain since Steve passed away. Today I did a 2 mile run, felt like I was back to 5 years ago when at the beginners group when I first took up running. At that time I struggled to put one foot in front of the other and today it was back to that time.......struggling and wondering if I am going to be able to do both......lose the weight and get the fitness up but when you hit rock bottom the only thing you have to do is climb back up again. So, I am going to run a sweep stake at £2.00 a go for a £20.00 prize paid by me so all the money goes to MND......and if I do a 2nd sheet I'll pay that winner £20.00......so please click on the link below and give me a time you think I will complete the race in and I will enter it on the sheet........however, don't think I will see a time and think I will go for that.......my plan is to get round the course as best as I can.........I may struggle to run at the moment and maybe on the day but I can recover from it........those with MND cannot 🚶♀️🏃♀️🧡💙😢

We're now into the final minutes of 2019 and entering a new decade......I know you are no longer physically by my side but I know my darling that you will continue to be with me within my heart and in spirit.......I know you are no longer suffering but I wish you were still here with me and will love you always until we are reunited xxx
