Thank you very much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I will be taking on the Big Walk in support of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Research at the University of Sheffield. As a researcher studying MND, this cause is very close to my heart. The Big Walk, on Friday 28 June 2024, will be my longest single walk so far - 30 miles across the beautiful Peak District, so your donations will not only help the MND community, but also give me a big moral support :)

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.
