Story

MND Charity events was created in 2011 by me Carl Wilson along with the help of his friends to help support the wonderful work of the MND Association who like us, strive for a world free of Motor Neurone Disease,  a condition that currently effects over 5000 people in the UK. 

The inspiration behind this charity was following the diagnosis and death of my father David and number of other Wilson loved ones. 

Unfortunately on September the 15th 2018 my father finally lost his battle. 

MND is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones, leading to weakness and wasting away of muscles, resulting in immobility of the limbs, speech difficulties as well as with swallowing and breathing. 

Therefore over the last few years I have continued to come up with wild and wonderful ways to raise both money and awareness so that this charity can continue to bring hope and support to those MND sufferers and their families! 

Events so far :

Dec - Jan 2022: Muay Thai fight Thailand 

29 May 2016: Cycled Hadrians Wall from East to West

October 18 2014: Arctic Circle marathon, 42.2km in a giant freezer 

03 May 2013: Trek to Machu Picchu: A four day trek through the Andes carrying my own supplies

5 October: Mountain Kilimanjaro, a 5,895-metre climb to the top of the highest freestanding mountain in the world and the top of Africa 

20 August 2011: Three peak challenge. A 24hr dash to the top of each of the highest points in England Scotland andWales 

10 July 2011: British 10km backwards: A very stupid decision to run the 10km backwards 

22nd -24th April 2011: Kayak the length of the Thames, from it source in Cricklade to Teddington Lock 132 miles later. 

MND has had a dramatic impact our family, with my father and two uncles (and other past relatives), but, as with so many charities, much more needs be done to further promote the awareness of this condition and also help those who are directly affected.

I appreciate some of you have donated already, but please pass this on to your friends and whatever you can give in terms of support, a couple of what we appreciate is hard earn quid, or even get involved yourself, all your support will be gratefully received!

 Thank you for your stopping by and your support

 Peace and Love
