The Big Walk 2024 · 28 June 2024 ·

The Big Walk 2024 is back and better than ever! Returning on Friday 28 June, walkers will be fundraising to improve the lives of MND patients long into the future.

Story

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.
