We did it!!! Thank you so much for you generous support and donations, our fundraising page is still open so please do continue to donate if you feel able to. MNDA will be truly grateful for all donations - no matter how small.

This year there are more of us!! (Andrea, Kim, Joshua, Jacob and Melissa)

We are all taking part in the Great South Run on Sunday 15th October in memory of Ray, a dear friend who died of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in 2004.  

We are raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, the charity that provided constant support to Ray, his family and friends and the professional team who worked with him throughout his illness. This charity continues to provide an invaluable service to all those who are suffering or affected by this debilitating disease. This includes the rugby league star Rob Burrows who has tirelessly raised money for this worthy charity despite his ongoing battle with MND.. 

Motor Neurone Disease is a fatal illness that leaves people unable to walk, talk or feed themselves, intellect is usually unaffected. Every day 6 people die from MND in there UK alone and a further six people are diagnosed. 

We would really appreciate your support, some of us are totally out of our comfort zone running 1 mile let alone 10! Every pledge no matter how small will make a difference to the quality of someone’s life.

With thanks,

MND kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis. It attacks the nerves controlling movement so the muscles no longer work. Eventually a person will be unable to move, talk, swallow and breathe whilst still being able to hear, see, and feel - they eventually become locked in a failing body. 

MND affects 1 in 300 people during their lifetime from all communities. Thats one person in an average size cinema. There are 5000 adults in the UK with MND at any one time. 

At this present time there is no cure.
