Doing it for mum
Fundraising for MND Scotland
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
What are we doing? Well we are always doing something - haha!
The existing total on this Justgiving page was money raised from fundraising activities over the past 5 years. The highlights would have to be Craig Watson travelling to Peru to hike the Inca trail to Machu Picchu in septemeber 2017 and Craig and I reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa in October 2015, after a tough week of climbing and camping rough at altitude.
Other activities included Half Marathon’s, tough Mudder, Summer Rose Ball 2017, Skydive, Walking the West Highland Way, Climbing Ben Nevis, Running a 10k, hosting a race night, party nights, doing the 3 Peaks Challenge and the Summer Rose Ball in 2015.
Thank you to everyone who got involved previously and everyone who donated to help reach the previous targets.
We are raising money for MND Scotland which is the only charity providing care, information and research funding for people affected by Motor Neurone Disease in Scotland.
Why?
Our mum was diagnosed with Motor Neurons Disease in March 2011.
95% of MND cases are 'sporadic' and can affect anyone. However, a small number of cases are inherited or ‘run in the family’. This type of MND is called ‘Familial MND' and makes up about 5% of all cases - very rare.
Unfortunately, other members of her family also suffered from MND. Having Familial MND means there is a chance it may affect us or other members of our family in the future.
Our mum lost her battle on 3rd June 2013. A devastating time for us all. She was a great believer in supporting charities and MND Scotland were a great support to her over the last few years of her life.
In memory of our mum we would like to do all that we can to support the charity, fund research and raise awareness of the disease and the daily battle people with MND face.
What is MND?
Motor Neurone Disease (also known as ALS) stops the nerve cells that control the body’s movement from sending messages to muscles. MND is often rapid and always fatal. There is no known cure. As the disease progresses, the person will lose their ability to walk, talk and feed themselves, although their intellect usually remains unaffected. They will eventually lose the ability to breathe unaided.
They need your support, so please dig deep and donate now.
