Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Dad/Grumps/Tony died of MND in September 2018 and we are raising money for the MND Association in his memory during 2019. 

MND is a degenerative disease which can have a devastating impact on the person diagnosed and those who care for them. The MND Association provides much needed information and support to those affected.

We are walking together as a team called The Long Drovers to raise awareness and much needed funds for the MND Association and all contributions are very welcome. If you want to join us on the walk you are very welcome!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

We did it!! The last 10km were really tough and a real mental as well as physical challenge but we were encouraged to keep plodding onward thanks to all the generous donations to the MND Association. Thank you!

Not long to go now until the 50km Thames Path Action Challenge!! Started couch to 5k today to boost my fitness in the coming weeks. We are raising funds for the MND Association so wearing my MNDA t-shirt for my first run gave me some extra encouragement :0)

Managed to clock up 99,677 steps over Easter week, and in the sunshine too!! Poor old Penny (11 year old Labrador) over did it a bit on the first couple of walks so had to rest up! Roll on October!
