Story

Russell & Skippy are completing the Thames Path Challnge of 100km over 2 days in the memory of both Carol and Fred.

Skippys mum Carol sadly passed away in 2024 after a courageous battle against MND. Russell dad battle against MND ended in 2006.

MND takes away the ability to physically battle the disease, but both remained mentally strong throughout which is why we are taking this challenge on for them.

The Thames challenge is poignant as it takes us through Twickenham where Carol spent over 30 years of her life, living it to the full, and allowing memories to be created by all our families during our visits.

Any donations are greatly received in this larger battle against MND and to support others who are facing the same battles.

MND is a rapidly progressing disease that attacks the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. Currently there is no cure. I want to help the MND Association to achieve their vision; a world free from MND. I would love your support, every penny counts.

£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed

£280 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year

£500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones
