Story

Update! I am so happy to be able to host 2 crafting afternoons this weekend. I will be working on a crochet 'dog', perhaps learning to knit and contemplating attempting 'micro-crochet'. We have been so overwhelmed and touched by donations for our auction from colleagues, friends and family near and far and I hope to have enough time to launch this over the coming weekend.  Thanks so much for all of your donations which will support MND research and those living with MND.


I am going to be deploying my extremely limited crochet and glue gun skills while crafting with friends on the weekend of 5th March to support MND research in honour of my aunt and uncle who are coping with this horrible disease. 

 I am fundraising in aid of the excellent Euan MacDonald Centre for MND Research, based at the University of Edinburgh.Please donate to my JustGiving page today and help researchers at the Euan MacDonald Centre for MND Research who are working hard to find treatments that can slow, stop or reverse the progression of MND and to improve the quality of life for people living with MND.Thank you for your kind donation - your support really means a lot to me and to my family. We also plan a silent auction of handmade items to benefit the Isle of Man MND association.


you can now sign up to craft with us here (in person, or in solidarity!) https://www.eventbrite.com/e/craftathon-for-mnd-tickets-249311546547 

I hope to update this page after the craftathon to show what we produced! Any suggestions welcome!
