Story

MND isn't incurable, it's just underfunded - Sam Perkins to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, 6 September 2023

Here at Stand Against MND we passionately believe that investment in research is the only way to improve the lives of people with MND. That is why we spend at least 75% of the donations we receive, funding research.

People who are diagnosed with MND have a 50/50 chance of dying within 2 years of the day they receive that diagnosis...

MND is a brutal and frequently highly aggressive disease, which can give those diagnosed very little time and ability to take any pleasure from their final days.

We're driven to do what we can to highlight this reality, whilst simultaneously raising funds which we can invest in research which will change lives

The Fifty50 campaign is looking to recruit a minimum of Fifty fundraisers (individuals or groups), each committed to raising at least £500 over the next 12 months, in any way they like!

Collectively this will result in an amazing £25,000 to further our Stand Against MND.

If being part of this campaign isn't quite tempting enough... Sam also wants to invite every single fundraiser to his birthday party next year, he loves a big do!
