Although our main method of raising money for mnda is to charge an entry fee for the event, we've found in previous years some people have wanted to make a donation or raise further money through sponsorship. This page has been created so that we can link anything kindly raised in this way to our event.
The target of £750 has been set to reflect the shirt numbers of two former rugby players who have unfortunately contracted Motor Neurone Disease
7 was the shirt number of Rob Burrow, the Leeds Rhinos and England rugby league star.
5 was the shirt number of Doddie Weir, the Newcastle Falcons and Scotland rugby union star.
All money raised from the event will be split 50:50 between research into the disease and support for those suffering from it in the local area.
