Stitching and running to support MNDA
Fundraising for Motor Neurone Disease Association
Story
We are looking forward to 2022 and the time to start a brand new patchwork adventure which will hopefully raise lots of money for our new charity in 2022.
One of the co founder’s of the Bramble Patch – Heather Marriott – recently passed away after battling Motor Neurone Disease for some years. We have therefore decided to raise money in 2022 for MNDA and we really hope you can support us. A few tragic details about Motor Neurone Disease –
It is a fatal, rapidly progressive disease that affects the brain & spinal cord
It attacks the nerves that control movement but doesn’t usually affect the senses
It can leave people locked in a failing body, unable to move, talk, swallow & eventually breath
It kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis.
Learning about this horrific disease made me truly start to think about the tragedy of a diagnosis, the realisation that you would be facing a countdown and that even though we all know it, I don’t think we truly appreciate just how precious time is and we should remember “Don’t count the days, make the days count”. With this is mind the 2022 charity quilt “Precious Time”.
We really hope you join us for another year of patchwork fun and as always we’re really grateful for your generous donation to this amazing charity who carry out such vital work.
*Don’t forget to let us know that you have donated so we can add you to the email subscription list - thank you :-)
