As many of you know, I was diagnosed with MND 4 and a half years ago. After an amazing walk for Challenging MND and Dr Katie Sidle in October of last year, where we raised an incredible £138,000 we have decided to move North this year to go again.

Over 200 people joined the London walk but due to train strikes many people who had planned to travel and support the walk couldn’t. Therefore at the request of many people we are carrying out what we’re hoping will be an even bigger walk in Leeds on the 3rd June 2023!

You may have put two and two together already but Leeds is obviously the home of the Leeds Rhinos and the amazing Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield and I am delighted to say that the Rhinos have agreed to support our walk and have given us the go ahead to start the walk at the Rhinos stadium, Headingley!

Since our walk in October a combination of many many amazing people have raised in excess of £300,000 for Challenging MND which has helped them to support so many more families living with MND. I am also delighted to have been able to help fund research carried out by Dr Katie Sidle in collaboration with Rickie Patani from the prestigious CRICK Institute as they strive to find a cure for MND. The funds raised by all of your kindness and generosity have already help accelerate their research by years, let’s not stop now!!

Please do all you can to continue to support these two incredible MND organizations that are so close to my heart!

Many many thanks

Steve
