Sierra Nevada · 3 December 2008

Motor Neurone Disease moves fast. It takes away time, it takes away independence and it has no cure. Every day we support people affected by MND. We fund ground-breaking research. We campaign for better care. We’re here for everyone who needs us. Because with MND, every day matters.

Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

We are treking the Sierra Nevada mountain range in September 2009. The peaks are the highest in mainland Spain, and are very challenging. The trek will involve two days of hard work, approximately 12 hours treking in total.

We are doing this to raise money for MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE (MND). This is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, it means that nerves degenerate and this causes weakness muscles. This disease causes the patients to lose the movement of their limbs, develop difficulty with speech, swallowing and breathing problems.

At present, there is no cure for this disease. MND can effect anyone. It is important to support this charity so research can take place to find a cure and improve people's lifes who suffer with MND.

We both feel passionate about helping this charity. A family friend from the Porter family died of MND a few years ago.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Motor Neurone Disease Association gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

it would be great to have your support to raise money for this charity. If possible please sponsor us.

Many thanks

Katie and Simon
