Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 19th August 2022 I will do a sponsored Wing Walk to raise funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).  I will cover the cost of the Wing Walk which means every penny donated will be split equally between the North and East Hertfordshire Branch of MNDA and clinical research into a cure for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) through MNDA.

In March 2019 my wife, Chrissy was fit and healthy but by April 2020 she was totally paralysed, speechless, and unable to take any food or drink by mouth due to MND.  Chrissy remained in this state for another 16 months until she passed away on the 4th August 2021.  My family and I cared for her at home 24/7 in what can only be described as a 'living nightmare'.

On the 20th August 2022 it would have been our 40th wedding anniversary but as I had nothing to celebrate, I decided to do the Wing Walk instead (crazy, I know).  I realise finances are difficult for everyone at present but if you are able to sponsor me or donate any amount to MNDA it would be greatly appreciated by me, those suffering with MND, their families, Carers and the clinicians carrying out the research into a cure for a vicious, brutal, and always terminal disease.

A sincere thank you.

Keith.
