Thank you for visiting my Big Walk 2024 JustGiving page.
This year I will be taking part in the Big Walk on Friday 28 June 2024 in support of Motor Neurone Disease Research at the University of Sheffield. It's a 30 mile walk in the Peak District ending at the University.
Any donations are appreciated to help reach my fundraising goal!
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.
MND is known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease in the US.
