#TakeOverMNDJoin us and
2022
2 3
People with motor neurone disease have no time to wait. MND kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis. That’s why we need you to join us today and #TakeOverMND. Whether you run, walk, cycle, game or organise your own event, get involved and make everyday count.
“Before being diagnosed with MND I was vaguely aware that it is a terminal illness, but I didn’t know how short the average life expectancy is, nor that there is currently no really effective treatment. That has to change. And it needs funds to do it.”Susan Fletcher Watts

“I did the Prudential Ride 100 to raise money for the MND Association. I wanted to return the favour as they had supported my family when my Uncle Brian was diagnosed with MND, something we will always be thankful for. The roar from the Mall can be heard well before you can see it. As you reach the finish line there is the feeling of relief, excitement, exhilaration and pain!”
Chris Blake“The scenery was just incredible. Although the Jurassic Coast has some tough terrain to conquer, you are rewarded with the most spectacular views. The camaraderie of the team was brilliant too, everyone helped each other along with kind words and positive encouragement. I’d recommend the challenge to anyone.”
Charlotte Scragg

Give it Up!
Fundraise your way
This March join us in our challenge to Give it Up! for MND. We’re challenging you to give up something you love and raise money for people affected by MND. You could go without wine, forgo your morning latte, sacrifice sweet stuff or give up your car for the month. You decide. Give it up! this Spring, because we won’t give up on people affected by MND. www.mndassociation.org/giveitup
We’re always excited to hear about your fundraising events and will be there to help you every step of the way. Sign up for your free fundraising pack and organise your own event. www.mndassociation.org/fundraiseyourway
Siblings Howie and Pippa, aged ten and seven, held an impromptu fundraiser when they set up their own car washing business. They created and delivered flyers to neighbours, set up a JustGiving page and organised an email booking system. The following day they spent six hours washing cars and raised a brilliant £290!
