Story

Thanks for taking the time to look at my page.

For this event i am walking from Pembroke in Wales, to Stevenage in Hertfordshire at a total of 264 miles. I'm doing this as if I'm going to organise a charity event, I' going to go all out to raise as much as possible. I am also organising 4 or 5 different concerts/gigs around the local area and further afield to raise more funds and awareness, and the money i make from those will be equally split across all 3 charities.

This is one of three different pages i have as i am donating to three different charities for this event.

The reason I am giving to the MND (Motor-Neurones Disease) Association is simple. The more research that goes into this incurable disease the better. One of my lifetime hero's is Stephen Hawking. He has become one of the worlds most revered scientists bringing sience forward with his amazing theories in theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity. He managed to do this whilst living with MND and has lived much longer than anyone ever thought he would. Others with MND are likely to miss out on acheiving what they want from life. This is a debilitating disease that slowly removes movement from your body, and leaves you wheelchair bound, whilst making it harder and harder to communicate with the people around you. Any money going towards this charity will be spent both improving the life of those who have already been diagnosed with this disease, and go into research into realising the charitys Vision: A world free from MND.

So please dig deep and donate whatever you can, no matter whether big or small, as the saying goes 'every little helps'
