Katie Dowson is raising money for Motor Neurone Disease Association
Team: Running in memory of Warren Dowson and all those affected by MND
In memory of Warren Dowson
Story
We are running the Rob Burrow Marathon on Sunday 14th May in loving memory of my Dad, Warren Dowson who died on 20th April 2018 just 20 months after his shocking MND diagnosis.
We are also running for our lovely friends Paul, Nic and their beautiful family. Paul was diagnosed with MND last year - we want them both to know we love them & are standing beside them, fighting this awful disease with them every step of the way.
This fundraising page will help to raise money for the incredible charity the MND Association who support families like mine and help fund vital research to try and find a cure for this cruel disease. For more about what the MNDA do to support people living with MND, please see the info below.
Thank you for supporting us, and this amazing charity love Katie & Lizzie xxx
More about the MNDA: We need your support
£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed
£230 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year
£500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones
£750 could fund an MND expert researcher for a week
Every penny raised from The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will bring us closer to achieving our ultimate mission; a world free from MND.
