This May my childhood friend, Gemma, and I are walking the first quarter of the Jurassic Coast (25km) to raise vital funds for MND in memory of both our mums who suffered from this cruel disease.

With motor neurone disease, known as MND, messages from the motor neurones gradually stop reaching the muscles. This leads the muscles to weaken, stiffen and waste, which can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. It is life-shortening - my mother died within 21 months of her diagnosis aged 73 - and there is still no cure.

We hope you can support us with a small donation that will go towards improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in the UK.
