Sam Perkins was diagnosed with MND at the age of just 37. Sam and his wife Emma responded to this devastating news by establishing the charity Stand Against MND in 2019, with the aim of funding MND research and supporting patients and their families in need of palliative care.

50% of MND patients pass away with two years of their diagnosis and so to celebrate his 40th birthday Sam decided to recruit 40 people (or groups) who would all commit to raising £500 each over the next 12 months. Collectively, We aim to raise at least £20,000 for Stand Against MND before Sam's 41st birthday.

If you would like to support the campaign you are welcome to raise funds in anyway you would like! You will also be invited to a special celebration on Sam's 41st birthday as a thank you for being one of Sams 40.

Thank you so much for joining us in the Stand Against MND.
