My Dad, Clive, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) in April 2018 and sadly passed away in December 2020. He faced the increasing challenges posed by the disease with perseverance, strength and courage, supported by my Mum, Anna, and by our family and friends.

To remember him, and offer those still living with MND continued support and hope for a future cure, our family would like to raise money to support the Cambridgeshire Branch of MNDA (Motor Neurone Disease Association), a charity who provided emotional and physical support during his illness.

MND is a progressive muscle wasting disease with symptoms getting worse over time.

- MND is life-limiting.

- There is currently no cure.

Although it affects people differently, it can reduce the ability to walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. In some cases, it can also change the way that people think and behave. The cause is still unknown, despite much extensive and ongoing research.

MND affects people from all communities: there is a 1 in 300 chance of contracting MND and at any one time there are 5000 adults living with it in the UK alone.

MNDA is the only charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland focused on MND care, research and campaigning. They rely almost entirely on donations. 

We would greatly appreciate any support that you feel you could make in memory of Clive. 

Donations will go towards helping the Cambridgeshire branch of MNDA, to support those living with the disease, and their families, and fund vital research in the hope of one day finding a cure.
