Story

We're doubling down on the Fight Against Motor Neurone Disease / Lou Gehrig's disease (MND / ALS)! Not only is this the second year, but we will be running two Marathons in two weeks to fundraise for MND, the London Marathon and the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon.

Introduction:

Welcome to our fundraising page dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by MND / ALS. We believe that every small act of kindness contributes to a larger impact, and together, we can bring hope to individuals and their families facing the challenges of this debilitating condition.

Our Story:

Two years ago, our lives were touched by the harsh reality of MND when we lost a dear colleague and friend, Christian Youens, to this terrible disease. Witnessing the impact of MND firsthand inspired us to take action and create positive change. Now, we're on a mission to raise awareness and funds to support those living with MND and to fund crucial research for a cure. We have assembled a team of colleagues, family members, friends, and industry partners who will be running both The London Marathon on April 27th and the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on May 11th.

Why MND?

Motor Neurone Disease is a relentless condition that affects countless lives worldwide. Individuals diagnosed with MND face progressive loss of motor functions, impacting their ability to walk, talk, eat, and even breathe. By supporting this cause, you're not just contributing to medical research; you're offering hope to families affected by this devastating disease. Approximately 5,000 people in the UK suffer from MND; the late Doddie Weir said, “Motor Neurone Disease is not incurable; it's just underfunded.”

Our Goal:

We've set a fundraising goal of £50,000 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. These funds will be used for patient care, research initiatives, and raising awareness. Every pound brings us one step closer to a world without MND—where individuals can live their lives free from the constraints of this relentless disease.

How You Can Help:

Donate: Your generous contribution will directly impact the lives of those affected by MND. No amount is too small; every donation brings us closer to our goal.
