Firsty i'd like to thank you for taking the time to visit our fundrasing page, to raise as much charitable money for the MND association.

Myself and my sisters- Emma and Amy will be doing a 24mile walk  through middlesex and surrey on Friday 30th August, too  raise a substantial amount of money for this charity.  ;

We will be start our walk  from hampton making our way up to fulwell, then on to teddington, through to kingston bridge, down to hampton court , past thames ditton onto esher, through back to kingston, and back round again, ending back to fulwell and onto hampton. 

For those of you who dont know, our Dad- James Douse, sadly was diagonsed with this dreaded disease 6 years ago. He was an inspiration throughout having this disease but sadly passed away in February 2012. With the determination our Dad had, he managed to survive this disease for 5 years, with the average person with MND lasting 14months. He had so much positivity throughout , and never complained, he was always the happy bubbly loving Dad, husband, and grandad we all knew and loved dearly. He was honestly how a hero should be described as having suffered with MND, he still had much positivity and determination to get through life.

 

So please please help and donate as little or as much as you can, to fund this charirty into getting a step furthur to finding a cure for this disease, give these people that are suffering now and who may in future -some sort of hope- so lets cure this and.......

.........WALK TO D'FEET MND!!!!!!!!

Here is a bit about MND and what it does to the body when diagnosed.

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting.

MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. However, not all symptoms necessarily happen to everyone and it is unlikely they will all develop at the same time, or in any specific order.

Although there is currently no cure for MND, symptoms can be managed to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

• It can affect any adult at any age but most people diagnosed with the disease are over the age of 40, with the highest incidence occurring between the ages of 50 and 70
• Men are affected approximately twice as often as women
• The incidence or number of people who will develop MND each year is about two people in every 100,000
• The prevalence or number of people living with MND at any one time is approximately seven in every 100,000

Myself my sisters (whom will be doing the walk also) reallly appreciate all your kind support.

 

Thank you again,

Love

Kelly, Emma and Amy
