Story

Thank you so much for visiting our JustGiving page supporting the MND Association in memory of Poul-Emil Harder. Poul was and remains an inspiration. He was tragically struck down by MND in late 2018, leaving a remarkable legacy of passion, resilience, humour and above all love and kindness that postively impacted all of us. He was the dearest husband, father, grandfather, uncle, great-uncle and friend. His commitment to dealing directly and positively with adversity throughout his life is an example to all of us. The commitment by 10 of his extended family to push ourselves through the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon would resonate strongly with him. The Spirit of Poul lives on.

MND is a vicious disease that can destroy so much of what makes us who we are. It is been truly humbling to see how the friendship of Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrow has brought MND to the public attention. Collectively we would like to encourage our extended network to make a contribution to help the MND Association improve access to care, research and campaigning for those living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

By sponsoring us your money will help people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the MND Association. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure, your details are safe - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Thank you again from Poul's extended family.
