A funding decision for the sole treatment that slows the progression of Batten Disease has been made. Children diagnosed have a life expectancy between six and 12 years, writes Victoria Macdonald.

For over 40 years Beefy has been tirelessly raising awareness and vital funds to enable crucial research.

📍He's walked the distance from London to Sydney... Completed over 18 charity walks in four continents... A marathon a day for 34 days straight to complete John o' Groats to Land's End twice... And in Sri Lanka he walked in temperatures of over 45°C!

🏏 The Guardian ranks him as England's no.1 and 3rd greatest men's Ashes cricketers of all time and we couldn't agree more especially in using his platform for good has been near on saintly!

👋🏼 We are sad Beefy is closing the Foundation but will continue to support our four fabulous charities and we wish them all the best.


🎂Happy Birthday Beefy you really are one of life's legends!

Today is World Diabetes Day, so a special mention has to go out to for all the amazing work they do.
Diabetes is the only charity of the four we support where there is a family link for our founders Lord and Lady Botham. Becky, their youngest daughter, was diagnosed at aged 8 with type 1, so they know first hand the trials and tribulations to maintain a stable and healthy lifestyle for someone with it.
A big shout out to all diabetics around the world!

And a night of celebration it was! 40 years since Beefy's first charity walk, his 70th birthday and the finish line of the Lourdes to Lord's cycle ride.
Dressing room drinks followed by dinner in The Long Room. Packed and merry, singing and swaying with , delicious food and wine , speeches, conducting the auction, it really was a night to remember!
Thank you to all who came and made it such a special evening.
