Story
The Big Boom Challenge is a 24hr Spinathon for charity, with a target of raising £50k for My Name'5 Doddie. It was conceived by Simon Brennan who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in early 2019. Since the diagnosis, he has been raising money for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation which funds research and provides financial and emotional support to sufferers of MND.
