Story

Unfortunately, our much loved Dad, father-in-law and Grandad has become one of the 5000 people currently living  with MND in the U.K. In a very short time, we have seen as a family the devastating impact of the symptoms of this disease. We provide the love and care that Brian now needs, but there is currently no cure for this cruel condition. 

The Morton family have decided to join the Mission 5000 Challenge this September and we’d love your support to raise funds for valuable research towards a cure. We are hoping to reach 250 miles as a family by running, biking and swimming throughout September.

£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 Mission 5000 will bring us closer to achieving our ultimate mission; a world free from MND.
