Three friends; Becky, Bart and Phil (Becky’s bro) are racing Iron Man Sweden 70.3 on Sunday 10th July 2022 to raise money for The Motor Neurone Disease Association.

We are doing this in memory of Tim Lucas, a talented and courageous man, loving husband to Becky and daddy to Theo, who devastatingly died of motor neurone disease at 36 years of age in May 2020. Please consider giving a contribution to help fund MND research so that a cure can be found imminently. No human being should ever have to endure the life-limiting and cruel disease that Tim lived and many others are facing today. Thank you. ♥️

Relay event breakdown:

Bart: 1.9km swim 🏊‍♂️ 

Phil: 90km bike ride 🚴 

Becky: 21km run (half marathon) 🏃‍♀️ 

A little info about MND/ALS:

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and muscle wasting.

MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. However, not all symptoms necessarily happen to everyone and it is unlikely they will all develop at the same time, or in any specific order.

Although there is currently no cure for MND, symptoms can be managed to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

Our aim is to raise money for helping those in need NOW (such as a range of available equipment, support and quality care) as well as the vital research to slow down and find a long-term cure for this horrendous disease. 

£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
