Virtual 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon · 4 October 2020 ·

Former Liverpool, Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers footballer Stephen Darby and close friend and British Forces Veteran Chris Rimmer have partnered together to launch the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. Stephen and Chris both have Motor Neurone Disease and have created a Foundation to create awareness of MND, to fund and assist research into the illness with the quest of finding a cure for the illness, to raise funds and offer grants to those with MND, as well as creating a network to help provide information and emotional support network for those diagnosed with the disease.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Stephen Warnock and I started working together in the media over a year ago and it soon became clear that we had a mutual friend in common, Stephen Darby.  

Stephen Darby played professional football since the age of 17, but on the 12th September 2018, was forced to retire at the age of 29 after being given the diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).  “Darbs” being the rockstar he is, decided to find “a way of turning something so devastating into something positive”. He wanted to have a positive impact on MND and to help and support those individuals and families living through it.  Darbs teamed up with Chris Rimmer, former British Military personnel, who was also diagnosed with MND and together they created the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.  

Myself and Stephen Warnock decided that we wanted to do something to support our friend and to help raise awareness and money for MND. We decided to apply for a place in the London Marathon in April 2020, but unfortunately due to COVID-19 the marathon was postponed and so after a year of training we will finally be running the Virtual London Marathon on 4th October 2020.

We really appreciate your donations and support!

Many thanks,

Karen Carney and Stephen Warnock
