Story
Thank you for visiting Caltag Medsystems’ JustGiving page supporting the MND Association.
Motor Neurone Disease has had a devastating impact on some of our close family members. By raising money for the MND Association, we aim to add our two cents to the development of new understandings and treatments for this disease.
About the Challenge
On the 1st of July, Dean, Nicki, Cara, Heather, James, Fiona and Irene will take on the Three Peaks Challenge. We aim to climb the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales within 24 hours.
We will have the support of our CEO, Tim, who will drive us to each peak. But it will be up to our legs and feet to make sure we climb up and down each mountain fast enough to complete the challenge in 24 hrs.
Although we are trying our best to keep fit and train for this event, it will definitely be a challenge for us. All donations and words of encouragement on our social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) will help us to keep motivated and will make all the blisters, sweat, muscle aches and lack of sleep worth it.
About the MND Association
The MND Association focuses on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
By sponsoring us on our Three Peak Challenge you will help people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. Caltag Medsystems will match every donation made.
Together we can come closer to #TeamMND’s goal: a world free of MND.
