A huge thank you to Andy Huxtable for organising the successful 'An Evening with Kevin Sinfield' event at Ayr Racecourse last month, in aid of MND Scotland and My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.

We were fortunate to be invited along to the event where MND Scotland Trustee Scott Bryson spoke on behalf of the charity. Also, well done to Tara McCormick for her impactful speech on behalf of My Name's Doddies Foundation.

Thank you to MKM Building Supplies for very kindly sponsoring the event, and to The Good Travel Company for their support.

A special thanks to Robbie Duncan for hosting the evening, and to The Kilted DJ for providing the sound, room set-up, music, and coordinating the photography.

Thank you, Andy, Kev, all the sponsors, attendees, and everyone who donated! 💙

Whether you are a partner, family member, or friend, caring for someone with MND can bring many different emotions and challenges. You may be juggling appointments, practical tasks, finances, work, family life and your own wellbeing, often while trying to adjust to changes as they happen.

If you’re caring for someone with motor neuron disease (MND), we can help.

Our financial, emotional, and practical services can help carers to feel more in control, lessen anxiety, and better manage your situation so that you can build precious memories with your loved ones and make time count.
