Story

I am doing this in memory of my best friend. David was full of hope for a cure till the last day of his life. He did not let this horrible disease bring him down. He always had a big smile on his face even when MND left him unable to move his limbs or when it started making breathing difficult. He enjoyed spending time with his loved ones and most of all his four legged kids. He passed away on the 28th of December 2023 so it would be 9 months exactly when i shall set off for this challange. I hope all of the people that David's life touched, will join me to fund raise and help to find a cure for this disease

This year is the 10th year for our planned annual event. This year we plan to walk the Guild wheel again which is 21 miles around the outskirts of Preston. The walk will take place on Saturday the 28th of September 2024. This walk has been a popular event raising vital funds that have helped to support local people with vital specialist equipment not always supplied or funded by the NHS. Some of the funds have allowed people caring for their loved ones to take a much needed break, or even fund a wedding. Other funds are directed towards education and local and national research. The funds we raise will all be directed towards MND either locally via the Hospital Charitys section dedicated for people living locally with MND, or nationally through the MNDA which will fund research. To Join the team page you should first make your Just giving page stating where you would like your funds raised to go. Then adding either of the charities stated below. We would like to try and keep the funds as equal as we can.

Preston MND care centre for local research and to support local people with specilised equipment and aids, in this case it would be the Lancashire teaching hospital charity. (this is then directed to MND).

Or

The MNDA for research.

MND is such a cruel terrible disease which is fatal and has no known cure; leaving people unable to walk, talk, or feed themselves. MND affects up to 5,000 adults in the UK at any one time. This means it is considered a relatively rare disease. Funds raised will benifit people living with MND locally and fund both local and national research.
