Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. When my mum lost her hard-fought battle with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in November 2008, our lives changed forever. Mum was only 39 when she passed away, leaving behind her 6 incredibly loved children. Losing mum was a huge shock – without a definitive diagnosis, we never gave up hope that one day she would be getting better, even when her health continued to deteriorate rapidly. The harsh reality that mum was never going to be one of those medical miracle cases hit hard. Coping with our heart-breaking loss has been incredibly difficult. Every day I wake up thinking about her and all the other families still struggling with the same challenges and having to cope with the realisation that currently there is no cure for this cruel disease.
Fundraising for the MND Association in memory of our wonderful mum has given us the opportunity to support others affected by MND and help to fund vital research into a cure. By raising awareness and funds, we are making a difference and hope that one day soon, we will see a world free from MND.
I started my fundraising journey in 2017 and have raised over£14,000 in support of the MND Association in the last couple of years through running and other fundraising events. Our inaugural Big Steps of Hope Tribute Walk to D'Feet MND was held on 25th August 2019, when mum would have celebrated her 50th birthday. Big Steps of Hope was our way of honouring her on her special day and celebrating her life. It was a day to remember the wonderful mother she was and help to support a cause that is close to our hearts. The event raised over £3,500 to help to support the wonderful work of the MND Association for people living with Motor Neurone Disease.
We are incredibly proud that Big Steps of Hope is now an annual event in aid of the MND Association that serves as a tribute to our much-missed mum, and is an opportunity to bring together others affected by this heart-breaking disease to join our efforts towards a cure. In 2020, our series of virtual walk and steps challenges as part of Big Steps of Hope raised over £16,500 and we look forward to continuing our support for people living with MND, their families and carers in memory of mum in 2021.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your fantastic support and generous contributions! Your donations truly mean the world and will help to make a difference to so many people affected by MND.

11th December 2018Lovely 11 mile run around Derwent Valley and Ladybower Reservoir on 18th November. Truly amazing to see some of the remains of the Derwent and Ashopton villages which were abandoned and flooded in the 1940s! Only meant to run 10K but got carried away and crazy took over so we ended up running back in the dark. Legs are aching but what a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! #PeakDistrict #100MilesInNovember #TeamMND #100K4MNDA 💙💛

5th November 2018Finished the Swiss City Half Marathon Lucerne and with that my 18th official running event in 2018! Set out to run 10 half marathons for the MND Association this year - one for each incredibly difficult year without mum and on 28th October, I completed my 10th half in Switzerland where 10 years ago we sadly had to say goodbye to mum. I'd like to think she was there with me and gave me that extra push when I struggled with the brutal conditions - freezing cold and rain/hail/snow showers. Thinking of her always keeps me going.
Vicky Paeschel
5th November 201821st October 2018: Chesterfield Half completed! Great to be running with Alex, Ewen and Mark! It was my 9th Half Marathon this year and my 17th official running event in 2018. A hilly but enjoyable race with Team MND.
Vicky Paeschel
19th October 201814th October 2018: Manchester Half Marathon done! By far one of my toughest races! Started the race an hour after everyone else crossed the start line due to getting stuck in standstill traffic for almost 2 hours. Ran the first 4 miles on my own before catching up with a group of runners. The rain was relentless and I felt physically and mentally drained after crossing the finish line! But this run was all for #SilenceSpeaks in support of those living with MND who lose their voice permanently. A tough challenge for a very worthy cause!
Vicky Paeschel
19th October 20186th October 2018: Completed the St. Luke's Night Strider for the third year! A 13.1 mile walk around Sheffield in support of St. Luke's Hospice who support people with terminal illnesses. This walk was in memory of the lovely Olga Bannister and the wonderful Bob Dickinson who were tremendously supportive last year when I started fundraising for the MND Association.
Vicky Paeschel
2nd October 2018Covered 39 miles this week to complete my #100MilesInSeptember!

23rd September 2018Sheffield 10K today. Was aiming for a new sub 60 min PB but my run didn't go to plan unfortunately. Finished in a fairly decent time and will use this run as training for next week's MK Half Marathon. Really pleased to see so many amazing Team MND runners today and am proud of everyone's incredible achievements! Well done all!
Vicky Paeschel
17th September 2018English Half Marathon yesterday! My 2nd half marathon in the space of a week and 6th overall this year! That was so bloody hard! Horrendous first 7 miles and tired legs from the start so really had to dig deep. Disappointed with my time but as a team we did really well! Thank you Team MND for another fab outing! Lots of awareness and funds raised, and that's what matters in the end! #100K4MNDA #MND #NoFinishLineUntilThereIsACure 🏃🖒💙

Vicky Paeschel
1st September 2018Completed my #100MilesInAugust challenge! Who would have thought that trying to cover 100 miles in 1 month would require this much running!!! 😱 I ran for all our #MND warriors who have been robbed of the ability to move, talk, swallow and breathe on their own. I ran in memory of my amazing mum. 100 challenging miles of running...all to raise greater awareness of a devastating disease that currently has no cure. 💙🧡
Vicky Paeschel
1st September 2018August 25th would have been mum's 49th birthday. Always an emotional day & 10 years on, it has got no easier. But this year, I decided to put on my Team MND running vest & start the day with a 5K parkrun! I had also organised the our monthly Walks to D’Feet that day, & was joined by a lovely group of people who all came along to raise greater awareness & walk in support of all those affected by MND. With every step I covered running & walking, I thought of my wonderful mum & everything that made her the incredibly special woman she was.
Vicky Paeschel
16th August 2018Halfway! My legs hurt like hell, my toes aren't looking great and my knees are giving me some grief but "only" 49 miles to go till I complete this #100MilesInAugustChallenge! #100K4MNDA #TeamMND #ICanDoThis 🏃♀️

17th June 2018Derby Half done on 3rd June! Really struggled to get around as it was soooo hot but seeing my lovely Team MND teamies at the finish line was great! Well done everyone!!! 👏 Two things I learned during the race: 1) Never do a rowing session at the gym on a Friday before a run, ouch! and 2) time to get training again because just trying to "wing it" is far too exhausting! 13.1 miles and I felt absolutely shattered, sigh.
Vicky Paeschel
11th May 2018Huge thanks to my amazing MK Marathon Relay teamies and our fabulous Team MND! Scorching heat but everyone finished the run with a smile! Well done all!!!

1st May 2018Completed my first Duathlon on Sunday! It was tough but great fun! Really enjoyed it and only fell off my bike once, haha!
Vicky Paeschel
29th April 2018Taking on my first duathlon at Go Tri Doncaster today, eek! Running & cycling, what could possibly go wrong?! Well, let me tell you that the 3 mile bike ride home from the bicycle hire place yesterday was quite possibly one of the most terrifying experiences of my entire life! Rain, slippery roads, pothole after pothole, careless and inconsiderate drivers. However, I'll be doing this duathlon in memory of my amazing mum and to continue to raise funds & awareness for the MND Association so will go out there and do my absolute best!
Vicky Paeschel
17th April 2018It was an absolute pleasure to share this Brighton Marathon experience with the amazing Jean and Becky! They're truly inspiring and I'm so pleased Jean also completed her first marathon! Thanks to Jean for letting me be part of her amazing achievement and trusting me enough to push her for a few miles. Would have loved to cross the finish line with these two incredible ladies but had to stop for a little stretch (lack of training) and then couldn't catch up. But it was an absolute honour to share this incredible experience with both.
Vicky Paeschel
17th April 2018Up until 2 weeks before Brighton, I wasn't even sure whether I would be able to take part due to multiple injury worries including a broken toe. I had not done any training & really struggled to recover from Sheffield Half the week before when my right leg seized up about 8 miles in. Completing my first ever Marathon is a huge achievement, something I always wanted to do but never thought I would be able to. It was tough but I wanted to complete this run for my mum & thinking about her helped me to keep going.
Vicky Paeschel
17th April 2018Feeling quite overwhelmed at the moment but just wanted to say a huge thank you to all! What an incredible day! So proud of our amazing Team MND! Completed Brighton Marathon in 5h 32min and am now officially a Marathon finisher!!! Thank you all!
Vicky Paeschel
13th April 2018Only 2 more sleeps till Brighton Marathon!!! 🙈😱💪

Vicky Paeschel
9th April 2018Truly inspired by everyone's incredible efforts this weekend! Well done all!!! 👏 Definitely feeling the aftermath of this ridiculously hilly Sheffield Half yesterday! Foam roller and deep heat gel to the rescue! Got a few days to sort myself out before Brighton Marathon on Sunday. How bad can it possibly be to do this without any proper training?! 🙈😱🏃♀️
Vicky Paeschel
9th April 2018Incredibly proud of our Sheffield Half Team MND! Tough route with seemingly never-ending hills but everyone dug deep and crossed that finish line with a smile! Well done to all of our amazing runners and big thanks to our fabulous supporters! You were all absolutely incredible yesterday! #SYMNDA #HalfMarathon #MNDAwareness #TogetherWeCanMakeADifference #MND #NoFinishLineUntilThereIsACure 💙

Vicky Paeschel
3rd April 2018By far my favourite run as part of 100K For MNDA last year and my first ever Half Marathon! Looking forward to taking part again this year and running with some incredible people as part of our amazing Team MND! How bad can it really be to get up those ridiculously steep hills without any proper training and a slightly broken toe?! I guess, I'll find out again on Sunday. 🙈🏃♀️ #SheffieldHalf #13Miles #MNDAwareness #SYMNDA
Vicky Paeschel
31st March 2018Thank you to everyone who donated at Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre today! Your support truly means a lot and all funds raised will help those affected by MND! #100K4MNDA #TeamMND #IfYouCanHelpALittleWeCanChangeALot #TogetherWeCanMakeADifference 👍💙🧡

18th March 2018Lots of snow so the Dronfield 10K had to be postponed. However, I still made it to the gym today without falling over, already a bonus! Still no running but 2.5h at the gym - 20 miles on the exercise bike and 2 rounds of weights. #100K4MNDA #TeamMND 🚴♀️💪
Vicky Paeschel
16th March 2018Looks like Dronfield 10K will still be going ahead on Sunday. Really dreading this one! Not done any running in weeks and my toes will literally be covered in foam bandages! But we'll have an amazing Team MND taking part and I know that we'll be able to conquer the hilly route together, raising great MND awareness and vital funds along the way that will help to support people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. #TogetherWeCanMakeADifference 💙🧡
Vicky Paeschel
16th March 2018Thank you so much MND Association South Yorkshire!! I am truly touched & couldn't be more grateful for all the tremendous support I have been receiving from the MND Community since I started my fundraising challenge. Seeing how the funds we raise can help to make a difference to someone affected by MND is part of the reason why I wanted to get more involved, continue fundraising & started volunteering for our local MND Association branch. It has been a great way to help make a positive impact in memory of my amazing mum. 💙🧡
Vicky Paeschel
19th February 2018Stopped by Wentworth Garden Centre on the way down to MK Winter Half this weekend to check on our collection tins. Another £49 raised in support of the MND Association!

18th February 2018MK Winter Half Marathon done! Today's run was the first of my 10 Half Marathon runs this year in memory of my lovely mum whom we lost to MND 10 years ago. It was a tough and emotional run - my bruised foot is still green and purple but after 13.1 miles, it actually feels better - at least I can wiggle my toes again...something may have just popped back into place, ouch! Thank you to our fantastic Team MND and our fabulous cheering duo today - you were all amazing! #100K4MNDA #NoFinishLineUntilThereIsACure #TogetherWeCanMakeADifference 💙🧡

Vicky Paeschel
1st February 2018Thank you all so much for your lovely messages in response to my feature in the latest Thumbprint edition. It was the first time I actually opened up about how MND has affected our family, the challenges we faced, the devastating impact this cruel disease had on our family life and how quickly mum's health deteriorated. https://www.mndassociation.org/wp-content/uploads/Thumb-Print-Winter-2018.pdf
Vicky Paeschel
20th January 2018Covered almost 40 miles last week and added another 34 this week. Today I managed to run 20 long miles!!! By far the toughest and longest run I have done in my entire life! It was brutal - rain, snow, steep hills and icy pavements. But I pledged a 20 mile run in support of the MND Association South Yorkshire branch's 20th Anniversary fundraising campaign! 💙🧡
Vicky Paeschel
13th January 2018Made it out of bed in time for parkrun again (already an achievement)! Got chatting to the lovely Chris who really helped me get through this tough (and slow) run this morning! Obviously left an impression as I've even got a mention in his weekly blog! 🙈😂 Thanks Chris! 🏃♀️👍 http://ccutforth.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/charity-this-weekends-parkrun-came-at.html
Vicky Paeschel
11th January 2018Wet, cold, dark and hilly run after work. Can't say I've really enjoyed it but that's 8 miles done. Back on track. 🏃♀️💪 #100K4MNDA #TeamMND

It truly means the world & will help to make a difference to so many people affected by this devastating disease. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💙🧡

10th December 2017It may have not been 13 miles but running 5k in heavy snow this morning certainly felt like it! Big thank you to everyone who has sponsored me for this final '100K For MNDA' run this year. Disappointed the MK Winter Half got cancelled but didn't want to let anyone down so went for a run anyway. Not the way I wanted to finish this crazy year of running but it'll have to don(for now). Thank you all for your encouragement, tremendous support and incredible generosity this year!!! It truly means the world. #RunRunRudolph #TeamMND #MND

28th November 2017Sunday, 26th November - Running target doubled!!! 205km now completed as part of #100K4MNDA!!! Freezing cold but absolutely fabulous day! Doncaster10K done - my fastest 10K ever! Quite overwhelming but just a big thank you for the tremendous support this year! Couldn't have got this far without the exceptional support network I'm privileged to be a part of! Thank you all!

28th November 2017On Thursday and Monday we were collecting at Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre adding £222.20 to the #100K4MNDA fundraising total!!!

28th November 2017It has been a busy few days fundraising, so here are a few updates! Last week, we raised a fantastic £126 at work - all thanks to a fabulous £50 donation from 'Hollybelly's Tuck Shop' and a great day selling Christmas raffle tickets. Thank you so much everyone for your continued support!! We're sure getting closer to reaching that big £10,000 fundraising target!!!

14th November 2017Fundraising at Sheffield train station yesterday and it was freezing! Lost count of how many layers of clothing I ended up wearing but my bit of dancing to keep warm helped to raise £146.44. Thank you to all the kind people who donated to help support people living with MND!
Vicky Paeschel
11th November 2017Great day at Waitrose Sheffield yesterday raising awareness of Motor Neurone Disease and funds for the MND Association! It was a pleasure to chat to so many lovely people today and a big thank you for all the generous donations!! We raised an amazing £327.14 and I am incredibly pleased to share that we have managed to reach another fundraising milestone! 100K For MNDA has now raised over £8,000 for the MND Association this year!!! Words cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am for all your fantastic support, kindness and generosity!
Vicky Paeschel
8th November 2017Monday's #MND #BakeIt #BonfireNight cake sale at work raised another £191.60 in support of the MND Association! Big thank you to all the talented star bakers and everyone who has contributed again to help me get closer to reaching my £10,000 #100K4MNDA fundraising target by the end of this year! #WeCanDoIt #TeamMND #LoveCakeDay #TogetherWeCanMakeADifference
Vicky Paeschel
8th November 2017Completed the Leeds Abbey Dash 10K on Sunday! Haven't been feeling well, but somehow managed to cough and sneeze my way through this run. Great route and thankfully no big hills. 195km as part of #100K4MNDA now completed! Bit of a well-needed running break now before I'll be doubling my initial 100km running target at the Doncaster10k on 26th November!
Vicky Paeschel
26th October 2017Completed my final 'silent' run in support of #SilenceSpeaks. No matter the distance, running in silence was incredibly tough! Not being able to say what I wanted to say at the exact time when I wanted to say it, was tremendously frustrating!!! It was a truly eye-opening experience for me, but reality for 80% of people living with MND who have difficulty speaking. Speech loss is one of the most worrying and devastating aspects of living with MND!
Vicky Paeschel
26th October 2017Rother Valley 10K completed! Terrible decision to wear shorts - it was freezing cold on Sunday! My #SilenceSpeaks t-shirt got soaked in the rain the day before, so I had to improvise. Unfortunately, it was far too breezy to run with my speech bubbles but I managed to raise some MND Awareness along the route anyway. Thank you to my fabulous sister for braving the weather to cheer me on! Another tough run but there is #NoFinishLineUntilThereIsACure!
Vicky Paeschel
15th October 2017Half Marathon #4 as part of #100K4MNDA done! Fantastic experience running the Manchester Half today! Great support along the route and the response to my #SilenceSpeaks speech bubbles was fab! Thank you MND Association Manchester & District Branch for the all the cheers and big thank you to my friend Nick whose 'silent' bucket collection raised another £41.46!! This means that '100K For MNDA' has now raised over £7,000 for the MND Association this year! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Vicky Paeschel
15th October 2017Continuing to support #SilenceSpeaks! 'Silently' cheered on all Hillsborough park runners on Saturday morning and was at Hillsborough library after to raise greater awareness of MND and the work of the MND Association.
Vicky Paeschel
10th October 2017Back to running in silence in support of #SilenceSpeaks this weekend. I'll be taking on the Manchester half marathon on Sunday! 8 short months ago, I started my '100K For MNDA' fundraising challenge in Manchester by completing the Manchester Winter Run, hoping I would somehow be able to achieve the 100km running target I set myself at the beginning of the year. This weekend, I'll be completing my 4th half marathon and it won't be my last one this year!!!
Vicky Paeschel
8th October 2017#Sheffield #Nightstrider done!!! 13.1 miles of walking as part of #TeamMND. I really enjoyed the walk as it was a welcome change of pace to my previous running events. 154km as part of '100K For MNDA' now completed. Got myself a Golden ticket for the Nightstrider but will be running in silence again at the Manchester Half next weekend! #Shhh #SilenceSpeaks
Vicky Paeschel
4th October 2017It was a fantastic day raising MND awareness! Sheffield libraries have been absolutely amazing and super supportive of our MND awareness raising efforts! Big thank you to our fabulous library services for their incredible support!!! #TogetherWeCanMakeADifference #AWorldFreeFromMND
Vicky Paeschel
4th October 2017Was at Crystal Peaks Library yesterday supporting #SilenceSpeaks and raising awareness of Motor Neurone Disease. Big thank you to Shhhh Coffee Shop Ltd. for taking part in our Silence Speaks event and to all the amazing people trying to find other ways to communicate and order their coffee/tea without speaking! #LoseYourVoice #HelpOthersBeHeard #MND #Shhh #AWorldFreeFromMND #MNDA
Vicky Paeschel
4th October 2017My new mission to complete at least 200km in running (training doesn't count) by the end of the year is now well underway! With Sunday's Salisbury Half completed, I have now covered over 133km for '100K For MNDA' so far! Sheffield Nightstrider coming up this Saturday followed by the Manchester Half Marathon next Sunday and Rother Valley 10K on 22nd October! Let's do this!!!
Vicky Paeschel
4th October 2017Big shout out on the MND Association's social media pages! Wow, I still can’t quite believe it – it’s a brilliant campaign to highlight one of the worst symptoms of MND and I feel incredibly passionate about raising awareness for Silence Speaks! I really appreciate the mention on social media, but am really just doing my bit to help others affected by this cruel disease and hope that I can help to make a difference…there’s still lots more fund- and awareness raising to do!
Vicky Paeschel
4th October 2017Sunday's Salisbury Half Marathon was also the first of 3 races I'll be running in silence this month to support Silence Speaks and help to raise awareness of MND by standing in solidarity with the thousands of people living with MND who have difficulty speaking. I knew that running in silence would be a challenge but didn’t think it would be that difficult even with the speech bubbles I had prepared! There were quite a few runners who commented on my Silence Speaks shirt and both, volunteers and people cheering us on loved the speech bubbles!
Vicky Paeschel
4th October 2017On Sunday my lovely friend Carina and I took on the Salisbury Half Marathon as part of Team MND! Carina has been an absolute star and decided that she'll join me in my mad running efforts and take on her first ever Half Marathon (and hopefully not her last)! She has raised an incredible £330 so far - big shout out to all of you lovely people who donated to Carina's fundraising page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundrais…/carina-buckley-half-mad!
Vicky Paeschel
4th October 2017Had an epic weekend! Kicked off Saturday with #FoxFestMND at The Royal Standard Sheffield. We had some amazing bands playing in aid of the MND Association. Thank you to our fantastic artists who made the event extra memorable, The RS Bar for letting us hold the event there and everyone who attended and donated! We raised a great £305!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Vicky Paeschel
25th September 2017Busy month running ahead trying to cover a lot of kilometres as part of #100K4MNDA. It'll also be an important month of raising awareness of one of the most devastating aspects people living with MND face - losing their voice. So throughout October, I'll be supporting #SilenceSpeaks & completing all of my runs in silence. This means that from start to finish, there will be no chatting to fellow runners, no singing along to favourite running tunes and absolutely no swearing (at any point during the race...not even after the first 5K)!
Vicky Paeschel
24th September 2017Was really looking forward to Sheffield10K today but 3K in, I realised that if I was going to complete this run, it would be down to sheer grit and determination. It's not about achieving personal bests, but all about doing my little bit to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease and funds that will help to support all those inspirational people living with MND and coping with the challenges that this cruel disease throws at them every single day. And so I pulled myself back together, ran like the wind and finished this run for #TeamMND!
Vicky Paeschel
18th September 2017£172.43 raised at Crystal Peaks Shopping Mall & Retail Park on Saturday and our MND Association collection tins raised another £76.28 at Wentworth Garden Centre. Thank you for all the generous donations! #100K4MNDA #MND #MNDA #TogetherWeCanMakeADifference

3rd September 2017Thank you all for your incredible kindness, support and generosity! It is an absolute privilege to be able to raise awareness of #MotorNeuroneDisease and funds for the MND Association as part of #100K4MNDA. Being part of #TeamMND is truly amazing and as a volunteer, I see some of the wonderful ways your donations can support those living with #MND and their families at a time when they may need it most. It's on to the next 100km now as I continue my fundraising journey to raise £10,000 for the #MNDA this year. https://www.facebook.com/BigFunRun

Vicky Paeschel
14th August 2017What an amazing day! Words cannot describe how grateful I am for all your fantastic support, encouragement, kindness and generosity. 100km running target completed at today's #BigFunRun and over £4,000 already raised for the MND Association this year. #100K4MNDA is in memory of my mum and I know she would be very proud of this achievement. Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment but just wanted to say a big thank you to you all! #MND #MNDA #NoFinishLineUntilThereIsACure
Vicky Paeschel
12th August 2017Bit of #MND awareness and fundraising at Morrisons Hillsborough today! Challenge of the day: Explain MND to a group of 4-year olds, but think I just about managed. Big thank you to June, Patricia and Bob for their amazing help! Our bucket collection raised £378.01 in total, which is absolutely fantastic! Thank you to everyone who donated, shared their story and wanted to find out more about #MotorNeuroneDisease! I really appreciated your kindness, support and generosity.
Vicky Paeschel

Just so incredibly grateful for everyone's kindness, support and generosity - I really can't thank you all enough!
Vicky Paeschel
3rd August 2017My favourite thing to do in Switzerland (besides easting chocolate and cheese), hiking! Started at the summit of Le Moleson (2,002m) - stunning views of the Mont Blanc, Jura Mountains and Lake of Geneva!!! Raised great MND awareness on the way too.
Vicky Paeschel
3rd August 2017Took advantage of the sunshine to explore the Aare Gorge and surrounding area. Beautiful!!!

3rd August 2017It has been a busy few weeks, so here are a couple of updates. Met MND Association patron Jeremy Vine at the Theakston Crime Festival in Harrogate on 21st July 2017. Brilliant day!
Vicky Paeschel
9th July 2017And here's the proof that I've finished today's #Chatsworth10K! Lots of trail running, one hell of a steep hill, 24°C heat and a dodgy knee - it was a challenging race but I had an amazing day! 87 out of my 100km running target as part of #100K4MNDA now completed. Thank you all for helping me raise awareness of #MND and vital funds for the MND Association! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of your support, kindness and generosity. We're all doing our little bit to help make a big difference to people living with Motor Neurone Disease.

24th June 2017Inflatable Obstacle Run done! Good fun, though I wouldn't recommend wearing short sleeves. Ouch! That's 77km completed now as part of my fundraising challenge #100K4MNDA in support of the MND Association and people with #MND.
Vicky Paeschel
21st June 2017Today is #MNDAwarenessDay! Already raised some #MND awareness on my run this morning. #100K4MNDA #NoFinishLineUntilACure
Vicky Paeschel
10th June 2017Spotted a few more #MyEyesSay posters today. It made me think about my mum and the challenges she faced with Motor Neurone Disease. The photo is from our holiday in Switzerland in February 2008. Little did we know that only 9 months later, she would no longer be with us. MND shattered our lives. #MyEyesSay reminds me of why I am doing #100K4MNDA – It’s for the loved ones that are no longer with us & for those still suffering. It's to raise funds & awareness to support those affected by MND & fund research into the disease to find a cure.
Vicky Paeschel
7th June 2017Our MND Awareness Month Race Night in support of the MND Association is coming up on Friday, 30th June 2017. I'd love for you all to come along to this fun evening.

24th May 2017Today has seen another great team fundraising effort in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association at work. Thanks to my friend Nilam for bringing in some delicious Indian snacks! Big shout out to my amazing colleagues for all of their fabulous contributions, ideas and continued support! #100K4MNDA really isn't about me, but about helping to make a difference together by raising awareness of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and supporting the work of the #MNDA for people affected by #MND. #MoreNeedsDoing #TeamMND

23rd May 2017Saturday I had some great support from my friend Lena from Germany, who joined me for a walk in the Peak District. We hiked up Kinder Scout in support of my fundraising challenge #100K4MNDA for the MND Association. Our #WalktoDfeet #MND raised close to £20 via the collection tin attached to my backpack.
Vicky Paeschel
23rd May 2017Just a couple days later, I was at Sheffield Central Library raising awareness of people with MND losing their voice permanently. #SilenceSpeaks is about getting people to experience one of the many challenges people with MND face and finding different ways of communicating without speaking.
Vicky Paeschel
23rd May 201714th May 2017 saw me finishing my 2nd Half-Marathon in Leeds. Mother's day was celebrated in Germany and Switzerland that day, which made it a very emotional event. I struggled to get my emotions under control for the first 5 miles, but then started to get into the race and was able to improve my PB by about 2 minutes, which is great. The support was fantastic again, which made me sign up for another Half-Marathon in Manchester later this year. Whilst I can't turn back time, I can certainly do my best to help other affected by MND. #TeamMND
Vicky Paeschel
23rd May 2017It has been an incredibly busy couple of weeks, so haven't had a chance to post any updates...but this is what I have been up to recently...
Vicky Paeschel
7th May 2017That's another 20k run done today. Covered a total distance of 64km this week alone. Safe to say I got myself out of my little running slump and am ready for Leeds Half next Sunday!
Vicky Paeschel
3rd May 201712k run was definitely needed after eating a whole lot of these yummy cupcakes. Big shout out to my fab team at work for bringing in cakes and organising a baby photo quiz in support of my #100K4MNDA fundraising challenge today!!
Vicky Paeschel
1st May 2017Really been struggling with the postrace blues after the Sheffield Half Marathon. Crossing the finish line that day has definitely been one of the proudest moments of my life. However as high as emotions soared that glorious day, I felt just as low since this incredible achievement - for weeks, I simply couldn't get myself out the door and talked myself out of every run. But after a real push this weekend, I'm glad to say that training is finally back on track...13k run done yesterday and another 14k covered after work today. #100K4MNDA
Vicky Paeschel
1st May 2017"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right."
4 months into my #100K4MNDA fundraising challenge now. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience so far, but the enormity of the task has really been daunting lately. I have been receiving some incredible support, met some inspiring people and been pushing myself to train harder than I ever thought I possibly could. There is still a long way to go to reach my £10,000 fundraising target. Please keep the sponsorship coming and continue to spread the word about #100K4MNDA.
Vicky Paeschel
1st May 2017Absolutely delighted that the MND Association is the chosen charity for our next tuck shop collection at work after receiving so many wonderful nominations! We'll literally be stuffing our faces with chocolates to raise an incredible £1,000 in support of my #100K4MNDA challenge for the #MNDA. #eatchocolateforcharity

2nd April 2017Final long distance training run today before next Sunday's Yorkshire Half-Marathon race. Managed to cover the Half-Marathon distance for the first time ever and climbed up all hills that are part of the route. Slightly less worried about the race now. #nowornever #100K4MNDA
Vicky Paeschel
22nd March 2017Loved the #bakeit Cake Sale for #MND at work today. The cakes were absolutely delicious and we raised an incredible £291.52! Thank you everyone for supporting this very worthy cause. It truly means a lot. #100K4MNDA #CakeDay #MNDA
Vicky Paeschel
12th March 2017Today's first attempt at conquering the Half-Marathon route was undoubtedly an epic fail. No idea how I'm supposed to climb up these Sheffield hills in 4 weeks' time without embarrassing myself?! Oh dear. #nobacksies #madwomanrunning #sheffieldhills #100K4MNDA
Vicky Paeschel
5th March 2017Wet, muddy and very very cold race today. Struggled with hypothermia and cramps throughout, but just kept going for #TeamMND. Thank you to everyone who has already been supporting my fundraising challenge #100K4MNDA - we have raised about £500 in on- and offline donations so far. Fantastic! Lots more running to be done this year, so please keep the sponsorship coming.

27th February 2017Turns out I'll be one of only 248 runners competing in Sunday's 10k! I'm determined to do well and am proud to be representing an amazing and very worthy charity at the Great Northern Run. #100K4MNDA

22nd February 2017Covered 35k last week and went for a quick 6k run today to get a break from sending emails and making phone calls. Please keep the sponsorship coming! Next race will be next Sunday!! :)
Vicky Paeschel
12th February 2017I did a couple of runs in Switzerland over Christmas, but nothing could have prepared me for today's running conditions! 0°C, snow, rain and arctic gusts...I certainly had my work cut out. However, I still completed my first official 10k of this year's '100k for MNDA' fundraising challenge and even managed to run a PB! Thank you to my friend, Nilam, for joining me on this run and a big shout out to everyone who has been supporting me so far! It truly means a lot and keeps me going - no matter the weather!
Vicky Paeschel
11th February 2017First race of this year's '100k for MNDA' fundraising challenge tomorrow, finally! Really excited and looking forward to completing that first 10k. Just hoping for a sudden overnight heatwave...might just have to wrap up extra warm. Manchester, hope you are ready for me! :)
Vicky Paeschel
7th February 2017On a day like today, where all I wanted to do after a long day at work was to put my feet up at home and chill in front of the tv, it is everyone's support and donations that keep me motivated and help me stick to my running programme. Dragged myself out for yet another 10k run in the freezing cold. Thank you for your support, pep talks and donations!!!
