Story

We're on a mission. We've joined #TeamMND and, in a combined effort with many other supporters of the MND Association, we're going to cover 5,000 miles, that's a mile for every person living with MND in the UK today. 

The Coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact on charity income. With so many fundraising events cancelled, the MND Association expect to lose a third of their fund-raised income this year. This is at a time when families affected by MND have needed their support more than ever. So we're fighting on behalf of people affected by MND. Every penny raised from Mission 5000 will bring us closer to achieving our ultimate mission, a world free from MND.

Some of us have individual fundraising pages, but please donate on this page if you want to support the whole Research Team in one go, or anyone without a personal page URL listed below. If you are supporting an individual, please say so in your message.

  • Brian's target is to walk 100 miles
  • Nick's target is to cycle 150 miles
  • Pauline's target is to walk 50 miles aiming for £100 in donations
