Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are 3 friends with a common interest of running, swimming and cycling. Our team is called "MAD", MAD stands for Matt, Andy and Dale.

Events we are training for are happening around the same time in October and we wanted to use the opportunity to raise funds for a charity whos mission is to enable everyone who is affected by Batten disease to live life to the full and secure the care and support they need until there is a cure.

The events are:
