Story

In April 2023 my mum passed away from MND, after being diagnosed In December 2022. It was so hard to see her slowly and then quickly deteriorate those few months. I want to raise money for MNDA as I know first hand that they provide such support for people with MND and their loved ones, but also if any money raised could go towards finding a cure for this horrible disease I would be overjoyed.

For those who like stats:

£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed

£280 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year

£500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones

Every penny raised from The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will bring us closer to achieving our ultimate mission; a world free from MND.
