Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the MND Association, in memory of my late husband Paul.

In July 2022, we noticed Paul's speech sounded slurred at times and he was struggling to swallow some foods. Following various tests throughout the remainder for 2022, we were given the devastating news in January 2023 that Paul had Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Aged just 47 and having run two marathons in 2022, he and the rest of the family were all suddenly faced with this progressive and life limiting disease. Paul sadly deteriorated quickly and he passed away on 1st July 2024.

There is currently no cure for MND and there are very limited treatments - so please help us to support the MND Association to raise vital funds in the research and fight against this awful disease.

The MND Association focus on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. By sponsoring me your money will help people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the MND Association. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure, your details are safe - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Thank you again.
