Story

Stewart's Sports Tour is a team walk around Bristol on July 20, 2024 fundraising for the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. The event is in support of Bristol's own footballing legend, Marcus Stewart, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2022.

Teams of between 3-6 walkers will undertake the 18 mile route that starts and ends at Bristol Rovers and visits the homes of Bristol Flyers, Bristol Storm, Broad Plain Rugby Club, Bristol City and Gloucestershire CCC.

We are supporting Marcus not just because it's a good cause but our teams of family and friends are walking this event together to also support Carol Hooper, diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease in 2020 and she is our ongoing inspiration behind fundraising this wonderful charity.

MND is unforgivingly cruel and debilitating. Like many others Carol has been fit and healthy her entire life prior to living with MND, and this change has been heartbreakingly difficult to accept and adapt to.

One of the hardest things to accept with MND is that there is no answer as to why this happens?! And then once it does, the disease cannot be treated or prevented.

All monies raised will go to the Darby Rimmer Foundation. This foundation does unbelievable work in supporting those with MND as well as supporting research to find a cure.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
