I’m on the lookout for work opportunities!

As I continue presenting and commentating for BBC Radio Manchester, I’m looking to connect with broadcasters, production companies and agencies regarding opportunities in studio presenting, sport hosting, commentary, and podcasting.

@your_fan_andy @iamalsorg Depending on the location in the world, it’s called MND or ALS.

MND is the umbrella term for all types of Motor Neurone Disease, ALS is the most common type of the five types.

My Grandad had it in Salford (ALS version), his wife (my Nana), was good friends with Giant Haystacks!

150 March Of The Day walkers with a brew stop at Broadhurst Park on the way at to Oldham done.

Huge thanks to @FCUnitedMcr ground staff (Nigel / Stacey / Nadim / Mark) for putting on the rest stop.

Good luck to @Redsmail and the MOTD III walkers for the rest of the walk.

The Stockport air disaster happened on this day 1967. A British Midland plane returning from Majorca plunged to the ground, killing 72 people, the fourth-worst accident in British aviation history.

[MND Association @mndassoc]

333 Association Visitors (AVs) provide emotional and practical support to over 1,200 people affected by MND.

The leg from City to @FCUnitedMcr on to Oldham will be huge, with 150 walkers expected in groups.

Huge thanks to Mark Gorman and the FC ground team for supporting the event once again, look forward to welcoming the MOTD III team to Broadhurst Park later this morning.

[Greg Broadhurst @GregBroadhurst]

Good to head over to @StockportCounty to wish the MOTD III walkers well as they kick off day 4 for @DarbyRimmerMND

Core team are on their way to @ManCity then @FCUnitedMcr where I’ll be to provide a rest stop for the walkers.

@Redsmail had everyone well organised and ready.

As March of the Day III moves from Tuesday to Wednesday via @BurnleyOfficial @buryfcofficial and @SalfordCityFC we push past the £100k raised for @DarbyRimmerMND and @LDShospcharity

[Greg Broadhurst @GregBroadhurst]

@StockportCounty @altrinchamfc And always a pleasure to see the brilliant @dsetters who is a magnificent campaigner.

[Greg Broadhurst @GregBroadhurst]

Was a pleasure to work with @SaleFC ground staff to provide a support stop for the @DarbyRimmerMND March of the Day III walkers along with @Swinton_Lions team.

Huge well done to @Redsmail and all the team, was good to see @stephhoughton2 and Stephen, Marcus and Louise in Sale.

[Greg Broadhurst @GregBroadhurst]

Was a large number of walkers more as well with all the teams coming to Heywood Road in groups.

Really pleased we could give everyone a brew and a chance to rest the weary legs, good luck to them all as they now head to @StockportCounty via @altrinchamfc and Wythenshawe FC.

This photo illustrates three phenomena that surprised me when I arrived on board the @Space_Station. I didn’t realize before seeing it with my own eyes that the Earth’s atmosphere would be so visible in the night sky, seemingly even more obvious at nighttime than daytime, nor that it would be so colorful! These orange and green colors on the horizon are airglow, a faint emission of light caused by chemical reactions and interactions between UV radiation and gases in our atmosphere (unlike aurora, which is caused by solar wind particles interacting with Earth’s magnetic field, airglow is present everywhere, all of the time). I was also surprised to see how blue and well lit the Earth can be at night, when a bright Moon illuminates it (Moonglow!). This photo was taken on May 30, the day prior to the full Moon. I hope that this provides a bit more @NASAArtemis Moon Joy for all of us!

Thank you.

[Greg Broadhurst @GregBroadhurst]

Or if tomorrow / Thursday anyone wants to pop down along the route with a live Mic, see stopping times for each ground in the last post. Stockport County will be a big stop / start.

@Redsmail is the logistics man, great guy who has organised this huge walk for the MND cause.

[Greg Broadhurst @GregBroadhurst]

@BBCRadioManc Good morning, if possible with a raft of clubs coming tomorrow / Thursday in Greater Manchester, would it be possible to give the hardy walkers of MOTD III a mention on the shows.

If you need a number for @Redsmail to talk on radio about it, happy to provide it.

[Mike Wilson* @Redsmail]

March of the Day III goes rugby league with stops at @WidnesRL @WarringtonRLFC and @Saints1890. A stop off at Penketh Fire Station in the way. Over £90k pledged now for @DarbyRimmerMND & @LDShospcharity. Great day so far.
