The Big Walk 2024 · 28 June 2024 ·
Hello there! Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page :)
This year I will be taking on the Big Walk on Friday the 28th of June 2024 in support of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Research at the University of Sheffield. I will be walking 30 miles (the most I've ever walked!).
MND is a terminal condition. It affects the brain and nerves and is nearly always fatal. There is currently no cure. It is commonly regarded as a rare condition. But this isn't true. 1 in every 300 people, across all UK communities, will develop MND in their lifetime. MND kills six people in the UK every day, with a third of those diagnosed losing their lives within just a year. Tragically, people die from this devastating disease because there are currently no treatments that can stop it. Your support can make a much needed breakthrough in MND come sooner. And improve the lives of patients long into the future.
As you may know, I am currently doing my PhD on MND, working alongside many other lovely and talented researchers to collectively find a cure against this dreadful disease.
Any donations to help support our research are appreciated.
