Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the MND Association. Inspired by the close bond of friendship between Rugby League legends Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield, and the subsequent feats of endurance performed by Kevin to raise awareness and money for research into MND (Motor Neurone Disease), Dave Garner dreamt up the idea of the Gallow Indoor Bowls Club completing a challenge.

The number 7 was very special to Rob (his shirt number) and became a symbol for many of the fund raising activities that took place; consequently our bowls club is planning to bowl 7,777 woods in one day by teams of players sponsored for their efforts. The hope is to raise £7,777 for this very worthwhile cause. Thank you again.
