Thames Path Ultra Challenge 2022 · 10 September 2022 to 11 September 2022 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am going to walk the 100km Thames path challenge for Motor Neurones Disease Association (MNDA), which considering how lazy I am is going to be *difficult*.
6 people a day are diagnosed with MND in the UK and in 2020 my dad was one of them. 6 people will die everyday with MND in the UK. 1/3 of those diagnosed die within a year. It drastically impacts quality of life with most people loosing ability to move, talk, swallow and eventually breathe.
MNDA are a charity that help with every aspect of motor neurone disease. They fund research into cause, treatments, cures and diagnostics. They advertise and help clinical trial recruitment. They have dozens of resources to help those with the disease and their families understand every aspect of MND. They have support groups for those affected. They have grants to help people living with the disease modify their home/life as the disease progresses. They campaign for better funding and research and awareness for MND. They do everything and are a real lifeline for people living with this disease.
