The Duke vs MND 2025

Duke Summer Party 2025
Thanks for taking the time to visit The Duke's Summer Party 2025 JustGiving page.
We want to put on the best Summer party in Oxfordshire, and make a difference. Motor Neurone Disease is a debilitating, horrendous condition.
The disease kills a third of people within one year, and more than half within two years of diagnosis. There is currently no cure. We want that to change. We call our campaign, The Duke versus MND.
We want to remove one word from a sentence – "There is NOT a cure for Motor Neurone Disease".
Come along, live life and party and help cure MND!!!!
Thank you for any donation you wish to make. It means more than you can ever imagine to those impacted by Motor Neurone Disease.
About Chris Brailsford:
It's been 12 years since our friend, Richard's Dad, Chris Brailsford died. He was finally diagnosed with MND in 2012. Followed by the news that MND is always incurable and 100% untreatable.
Dad loved travelling and walking. He walked every week in his beloved Peak District and travelled to places after he retired. Such as the Inca Trail, Morocco, India and Nepal (including base camp Everest) and walked Table Mountain in South Africa. He was a proud Grandad to 4 grandkids, and took them on adventures every day he saw them.
Then Dad was diagnosed with MND. He quickly lost the ability to walk unaided, and struggled to breathe and talk. In a few months, Dad lost 8 of his original 14 stone. He fought hard. He was our hero. We founded The MND Army and we fight in his memory, and the whole MND community.
