Thank you for visiting the Surveybase Limited Christmas Appeal Page.

Sadly I know first hand the devastating effect MND has on people, their families and friends. Several years ago I lost my dear friend and Rugby Club captain Dave Carter to this brutal disease. It cut Dave off in the prime of his life at just 32 years old and father to a new born baby daughter. His last day was spent watching Bath Rugby. It hurt to see him go, it still does. Then this year MND took the life of my Mum. I watched every stage from the initial slurring of speech to not being able to speak, swallow, walk and ultimately breathe. We lost Dad to Asbestos related Cancer 4 years ago so I felt responsible for Mum, to look after and protect her. But we were up against this brutal disease without hope. That's why I want to change the outcome for future victims. MND is not an incurable disease, its under funded. MNDA need more money so they can research the causes of MND, find treatments and a cure so that in the future there is hope. Hope for the people with MND, hope for their families and friends. Hope that one day this horrible disease doesn't take another friend, Mum, Dad, Brother, Sister, Son or Daughter.

Please give what you can, maybe miss your lunch for a single day and give £5. Whatever you can do everything will be eternally appreciated. With your help we can and will find a cure.

In her final moments Mum asked me what causes this disease. Lets hope we can find an answer.
