Hello...

I decided 6 months ago that I would take on the challenge of completing the Blenheim Triathlon which involves cycling 20km, running 5.2km and swimming 750m. Why you may ask have I decided to take on this crazy challenge?


At the end of last year my wonderful father, Tom, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. MND is a fatal condition for which there is no treatment and no cure. The muscles waste away and the patients die of weakness and paralysis of their breathing muscles. Many doctors regard this condition as the worst disease in medicine. Very little money has been spent on research.


Why am I asking you to donate to The Sheffield Institute? My father is currently being looked after by Professor Pamela Shaw, head of the Department of Neuroscience at Sheffield University. She is one of the leading MND specialists in the world and the inspiration behind current research and the building of a new Institute.

 

The money that I raise will all go towards the new research and clinical centre at Sheffield University which will be called The Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITran). The centre will be not only be involved with research into MND but other degenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, SMA (a childhood form of MND) and Multi Sclerosis (MS). A breakthrough in one may lead to a breakthrough in another.

 

I know these emails seem endless as there are lots of other mad people out there trying to raise money for other wonderful causes but your support would be fantastic!

 

Lots of love and thanks
