Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the start of 2014 our world was completely turned upside down. We were given the unexpected and heartbreaking news that our Father had got Motor Neurone Disease (MND). None of us knew that much about the illness, the effects, a cure, or what was to come. To then be told it is a terminal illness and we only have a few precious months left with our dad was the worst we could have imagined. We sadly lost him in February 2015.

However our dad was amazing and remained so positive after being diagnosed . He continued about his normal life overcoming or adapting to challenges he faces. We are as a whole family very proud of him and his positivity. His and mums aim is to make as many people aware of MND and the symptoms along with raising as much money as we can for the East Kent MND Group. So all money raised will go to the local East Kent MNDA Group.

MND is a progressive disease involving degeneration of the motor neurons and wasting of the muscles. Early symptoms include...weakened grip, increasing slurred speech, excess saliva, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, tiredness, leg/arm shakes. If you notice these symptoms ask to be checked, there is a lot of support available.

We are going to be holding lots of fundraising events and taking part in many different activities to raise money for our local MND Charity in memory of our dad. We would love your support whether it be ideas, donations, or if you are already taking part in an event and haven't chosen a charity we would love you to choose ours.

We will post regular updates to the page with fundraising events and look forward to your support.

Thank you!

David, Amanda, Hayley & Donna
