Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
For all my friends visiting this page most of you will know how much I hate running, I would much rather be playing tennis or watching Arsenal! HOWEVER, this is for a really important cause. I am looking to raise as much money as I can for the Motor Neurone Disease research team at Barts and the London School of Medicine as my close friend, Wayne, was diagnosed with this dreadful disease in September 2009.
MND is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that leads to degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons, the cells that control voluntary muscle activity including speaking, walking, breathing, swallowing and general movement of the body. There is no cure. MND affects over 5000 people in the UK each year, including our friend Wayne.
Recent research undertaken by the team has identified muscle stem cells as a promising channel through which a therapy could be developed. The research team is highly experienced and supported by the Motor Neurone Disease Association and Medical Research Council, but relies heavily on charitable donations to drive forward research for this SEVERELY UNDER FUNDED CONDITION.
So please, help me to try and help my dear friend Wayne by giving generously.
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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
