Hello!

Bronwyn and I have decided (stupidly) to take part in the Cardiff Half Marathon this October! We would be so grateful if you could donate as little or as much as you can to help us reach our fundraising goal for Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).

We have decided to run for MNDA, an amazing charity raising money to help people living with Motor Neurone Disease and their families and to go towards vital research to find a cure. We have chosen this charity due to the fact that a close family friend has been diagnosed with MND a few years ago and so in running we hope to raise everything we can to go towards fighting this horrible disease.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting.

MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. However, not all symptoms necessarily happen to everyone and it is unlikely they will all develop at the same time, or in any specific order.

Although there is currently no cure for MND, symptoms can be managed to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

We need your support.

£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

Please consider donating anything you can and share our page! Thanks so much ❤️
