Story

Hi everyone,

Fi and I lost our father, Andrew Bingham in October 2023 to MND. He was diagnosed in September 2021 and faced all his challenges with a smile on his face. This year would have been his 60th birthday so we are going to walk 30 miles each in honour of him and his amazing strength and courage facing this horrid disease.

We will face this 30 mile challenge with the same smile he carried throughout.

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.
