Thank you for visiting our Team Dawsons Fundraising page as we aim to raise awareness and fundraise for Motor Neurone Disease as we climb up Snowdon in September 2023.

Motor Neurone Disease is an uncommon condition that affects adults of all ages. It’s caused by a problem with cells in the brain and nerves called motor neurones. These cells gradually stop working over time.

The MND Association focus on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We chose to fundraise for MNDA as one of the staff in our Snowdon team had seen a member of his family affected by MND, so this climb is in loving memory of his Grandfather, he has also written this heartfelt poem -

My Grandfather…

A Man who was the stereotypical ‘tough guy’,

A Man who served his country,

A Man who feared nobody,

A Man who feared nothing,

A Man who would give all the care his body would allow,

A Man who would encourage me to keep fit and keep active,

A Man who enjoyed a glass of Whiskey at the end of the day,

A man who would never give up…

Motor Neurone Disease…

A Disease which weakens the muscles, cause them to stiffen and waste,

A Disease which affects how you walk,

A Disease which affects how you talk,

A Disease which affects how you eat and drink,

A Disease which affects how you breathe,

A Disease which affects up to 5000 adults at any one time,

A Disease with no cure,

A Disease which made my Grandfather give up…

So for now, I raise a glass of Whiskey to my Grandfather and let him know that this fight is not over!

Please help us raise awareness for MNDA and raise funds for them to help others affected by the disease too. Thank you in advance for your support
