The MND Association has launched ‘Mission 5000’. Altogether they want to cover 5,000 miles, that’s a mile for every person living with MND in the UK today. Taking part can be running, walking, swimming, cycling or even scooting as far you can.  The Mission begins on 13th September 2020 and runs for five weeks.  

We are avid walkers having covered 800 miles between us since lockdown so we plan to walk as frequently as possible over the 5 week period and jointly cover at least 200 miles.  We have chosen to raise funds for our local branch of the MND Association.  The money we raise will go towards helping and supporting local people in North and East Hertfordshire.

Motor Neurone Disease is a life-shortening disease for which there is no cure.  MND affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord that tell your muscles what to do.  Messages from the motor neurones gradually stop reaching the muscles. This leads the muscles to weaken, stiffen and waste. MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. 

We appreciate that all charities are desperate for funds at this time but we hope that you will be able to find a way to sponsor us.
