We are embarking on a deeply personal and inspiring journey to raise funds for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, a charity dedicated to groundbreaking Motor Neurone Disease (MND) research and the development of treatments. As we stand today there is no effective treatment for MND for 98% of people living with the disease, and so further research is vitally important. MND is not incurable, but research is hugely underfunded.

As many of you know MND is profoundly close to our hearts, as Ben has been courageously living with MND for the past four years. We have witnessed firsthand the profound challenges this disease brings—not only to the individual diagnosed but also to their family, friends, and community.

On Sunday 18 October 2026, we will take on a personal challenge at the Guildford 10km (a closed road race). To honor and support Ben at the center of this fight, we will be pushing him around the course in a wheelchair. This event symbolizes strength, unity, and hope—a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together. We invite you to join our team, by signing up to join us in the race, (whether that be to run, walk, hop skip or jump your way round), because it truly will take a village to complete this challenge. or support us via a donation to help us reach our fundraising target. in any way you can

Our goal is to raise £5,000 to fund essential research that could lead to effective treatments and ultimately a cure. Every donation matters—no matter how big or small—and will make an impactful difference in the lives of many. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure; your generosity goes directly to the charity without delay or extra cost.

Together, we can bring hope where it’s needed most. Please stand with us in supporting everyone living with MND by contributing or joining our team. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.
