My Story

Ramune, the dedicated manager of The Coach and Horses in Bolton-by-Bowland, has embarked on a monumental challenge: running the London, Leeds, and Edinburgh marathons within the span of six weeks to raise funds and awareness for the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) charity.

Ramune's journey into long-distance running began during the lockdown, a time when many turned to new hobbies and fitness routines. After completing a few half marathons, she braved her first full marathon in Manchester in 2023. Despite the physical toll, she found the experience immensely rewarding. However, it was witnessing Kevin Sinfield carrying Rob Burrow across the finish line at the Leeds Marathon in 2023 that deeply moved and inspired her. This emotional moment led her to sign up for the Leeds Marathon in 2024, where she experienced incredible support from the MND charity.
"I enjoyed the experience, but my body was screaming 'never again'," recalls Ramune. "But after seeing Kevin and Rob, I was inspired beyond words."
With her 40th birthday approaching next year, Ramune decided to take on an even more significant challenge: running three marathons in just a month. While the thought of this daunting feat is "terrifying," she remains motivated by the motto of the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, "run with a mate for a mate."
"Friends and family mean everything to me," says Ramune. "I'll be carrying them with me as I run for those who can't and are fighting this cruel disease every day. You are my inspiration."
Many have asked if Ramune has a personal connection to MND, to which she answers, "No, and I hope it stays that way. That's why it's so important to support the MND charity, so no one has to face this fight alone and a cure can be found.
