Story

Border Country 7 in 7

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the MND Association.

From Sunday 8th December - Saturday 14th December I will ‘trundle’ (moving at a slow and heavy speed) 10 miles a day for seven days covering a total of 70 miles across towns, villages and hills within and around the border country of Wales and England.

Through my work across both rugby codes, I have been amazed by the bravery of Doddie Weir, Rob Burrow, Ed Slater and others in the fight against this cruel disease. This 7 in 7, like many other challenges being undertaken this month, is of course inspired by the remarkable Kevin Sinfield.

My childhood friend (former classmate, teammate, workmate and housemate) Evs was diagnosed with MND this year and faces this challenge with the same tenacity he demonstrated in various sports. The guidance he has received from the MNDA has been fantastic and so this is to support the excellent work they do helping people cope during such challenging times.

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. By sponsoring me your money will help people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the MND Association. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure, your details are safe - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Thank you again
