Story

UPDATE:  We did it - thank you all so very much, please read ....

Wendy passed away in December 2020, a much missed mum, wife and friend.  

As a team, we know at first-hand how much help the person needs on a day-to-day basis.  We are Wendy's husband John, their boys Jacob and Lucas, Wendy's friends Jan and Emma, plus Emma's husband and their two girls.  We will update you as we go along, with news and photos!  We are hoping to complete a total of 600 miles by swimming, walking, and cycling.

For Mission 5000, all fundraisers come together as a nationwide team, doing whatever mileage they can to raise funds for people living with MND. 

The MND Association needs  your support at a local as well as a national level, We have asked for any funds raised to go to the East Kent Branch.  To put the amounts into perspective:  

£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed

£230 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year

£500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones

£750 could fund an MND expert researcher for a week

Every penny raised from Mission 5000 will bring us closer to achieving our ultimate mission; a world free from MND.  

We know that the Association and those living with MND in East Kent in particular will be incredibly grateful.

Many thanks!

John, Lucas and Jacob 

Jan and her doggies, Emma, Phil, Imogen, Jenny and Amy the dog
