Thank you for visiting our JustGiving page.
Over the past 2 years, Fi has done a few fundraising challenges to raise funds for the MND Association, and this time we have really increased the challenge by signing up for a half marathon together! We'll be running the Sheffield Half Marathon on Sunday 7th April, this time in support of Motor Neurone Disease Research at the University of Sheffield.
Not only is this a cause very close to our hearts after Fi lost her dad, Andrew, to this disease in October 2023, but the research being done is vital and we're excited to help out the University with their fundraising for research too!
Any donations are appreciated to help reach our fundraising goal!
MND is a terminal condition. It affects the brain and nerves and is nearly always fatal. There is currently no cure. It is commonly regarded as a rare condition. But this isn't true. 1 in every 300 people, across all UK communities, will develop MND in their lifetime. MND kills six people in the UK every day, with a third of those diagnosed losing their lives within just a year. Tragically, people die from this devastating disease because there are currently no treatments that can stop it. Your support can make a much needed breakthrough in MND come sooner. And improve the lives of patients long into the future.
