Sophie's fundraiser for Motor Neurone Disease Association

Sophie Green is raising money for Motor Neurone Disease Association

Great North Run 2026 · 13 September 2026 ·

Join the MND Association as we take on the Great North Run 2026

Story

Dad (John Robinson) died in March 2025 after a short battle with MND. He fought his battle with courage and grace. MND is a terrible disease and massively under funded. I am running the GNR for the MND Association this September in order to raise vital funds for those still fighting their battles. Please support me if you can 🧡💙

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting.

MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. However, not all symptoms necessarily happen to everyone, and it is unlikely they will all develop at the same time, or in any specific order.

Although there is currently no cure for MND, symptoms can be managed to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

We need your support.

£85 could pay for an important chemical to preserve 600 tubes of cells when they are frozen

£280 could pay for a person with MND to download their banked voice

£500 could fund a tablet device, giving the ability to communicate with loved ones

£1000 could pay for detailed analysis of DNA to help us better understand the causes of the disease.
