3 years ago Ricky Barrow an employee at Cashcade was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. The disease is particularly nasty and attacks the upper and lower motor neurons which leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing.

Being an innovative company we put our heads together about what we could do to raise some money for MND charity and thought what better way than by organizing a race…

Well here it is the inaugural ‘realbarrowrace’ a 500 m or 200M swim in an indoor pool at St Dunstans College in South London followed by a 2 or for 5k run. Or if you are under 16 a 33M swim and a 1 k run.

Whilst we are at we thought we would throw in a barbecue and have bit of fun…no super athletes here!

Donating or paying your entry fee through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is the most efficient way for us to raise money from organising this event.
