Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In 2020 we received the devastating news that our remarkable colleague and friend Nicola Wooder had been diagnosed with hereditary MND.

For Nicky the prognosis is life shortening with no cure. There is no effective treatment. This has made her all the more determined to make sure others in the future do not have to face this cruel disease.

Hereditary forms of MND are not as common as other forms of the disease.  It has a big impact on the families affected by them. Nicky lost her Mum and Uncle to the disease and she is actively taking part in medical research to help find a cure to protect her family and all families affected by MND.  However, Nicky needs our help to raise greater awareness of the disease and essential funds to support the vital research into the disease.

WSP staff are raising funds for the MND Association by collectively cycling, running, swimming and walking.  As Nicky’s role covers the UK and South Africa we are aiming to cover a total of 7,631 miles (the equivalent distance London to Cape Town). The deadline for clocking up the miles (and of course raising funds) is 31st December 2021.

We can, we must and we will find a cure for MND. Your generosity will help to fund cutting-edge research into this cruel and devastating disease so that future generations can live in a world free of MND.

As a result of projects funded by the MND association, understanding of how motor neurones work is constantly advancing. The MND Association also offer a wide range of support and guidance for those living with or affected by MND.
