Martin’s MND fundraising

Martin’s MND fundraising After being diagnosed with MND, Martin and his friends are raising as much money as possible to help the MNDA charity.

HOW LIFE CHANGES…

Martin was diagnosed with MND in October 2021, neither he nor his partner Graeme saw it coming. Up until January 2021, Martin and Graeme led a very active and vibrant life. They started their journey together in 2005, married in 2008, built a successful business and when the time was right, they adopted their son; their life was perfect! However, in early 2021 Martin’s speech be

gan to slur and after many visits to doctors a year of testing for various conditions and misdiagnoses, they were eventually given the heartbreaking news that he had MND. Martin’s variation of MND is ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). After some investigation, Martins's MND was found to be carried genetically from his Uncle who had died from the illness some years before. Since his diagnosis, this perfect loving family unit has been on an emotional roller coaster as they navigate their way through all the information, endless consultations that all provide insight as to what is ahead. Martin has maintained the most incredible positive attitude throughout and is determined to do whatever he can to fight this illness. The progression of Martins's MND has been given a 3-5 year term but there are many cases where this time scale had doubled so by keeping as fit and healthy as he can Martin is giving himself his best chance. We want you all to follow Martin’s page so that we can share his story and raise much-needed funds for Motor Neuron Disease Association. Hopefully, it might also help others diagnosed with MND find their inner determination and positivity as they navigate their own MND roller-coaster.

On 11th July, Harriet who works in my Z HR team and her cousin Harvey will be taking on the Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks Challenge, a tough 24 mile trek across Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough to raise money for the MND Association.

They’re doing it in memory of two very special people they lost to MND, Harvey’s dad, Ian, and their dear family friend, Arthur. Both were taken far too soon by this cruel disease.

Anyone who has experienced the impact of MND knows the devastation it leaves behind. Harriet and Harvey are turning that loss into something positive by raising awareness and funds to support the incredible work of the MNDA in research, care and campaigning.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how much, it would mean a great deal and help support families affected by MND.

For those who have followed our own MND fundraising journey over the years, you’ll understand why stories like this resonate so deeply. Every step they take on 11th July is for Ian, Arthur and everyone affected by this devastating disease.

Please donate if you can and help cheer them on. 💙🥾⛰️🚶
