Hi,
Over the past few years my sons and I have run marathons, cycled miles, jumped out of planes, organised cake sales, endured sponsored silences all in aid of The Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) but due to Covid its been a while..... I have taken the plunge and signed up for the Great South Run on 16th October to raise more much needed funds for MNDA in memory of Ray, a dear friend who died of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in 2004 and to help support the lovely people I encounter through my work.
The Motor Neurone Disease Association provided constant support to Ray, his family and friends throughout his illness. This charity continues to provide an invaluable service to all those who are suffering or affected by this debilitating disease and are continually looking for a much needed cure.
Motor Neurone Disease is a fatal illness that leaves people unable to walk, talk or feed themselves, intellect is usually unaffected. There is no cure. Every day 6 people die from MND and a further 6 people are diagnosed within the UK alone. A third die within a year of diagnosis, and more than half die within two years.
We would really appreciate your support - every pledge no matter how small will make a difference to the quality of someone’s life.
If you would like to find out more about the MND, then please visit https://www.mndassociation.org.
Thank you for your support, its been a while since I have run this distance so am feeling a little nervous...!
