Hi everybody 
Hope no body minds me posting this.....
During the week of the 17th of June to the 24th of June it's Motor Neurone Disease awarness week.
MND is a fatal disease of the nervous system. The nerve cells (motor neurones) that send messages from the brain to the muscles get attacked. As the motor neurones die the muscles stop working. 3 people die everyday in the UK from MND. A further 3 get diagnosed each day, and there are 5,000 people at any one time living with this condition in the UK. There is no cure for MND and the cause is unknown. Most people live between 2-5 years once diagnosed.
As some of the older school (
) members of the board will know, i sadly lost my mother to this condition in August 2005.
Every year during the 17th and 24th of June fundraising events take place all over the country to raise awarness and help raise money for people with MND and for research into the illness as the MND Assocaition recieves no government funding.
The most common event is called WALK TO DEFEAT. Last Year I organised a sponsored walk, thank you to Johhny and Kitty and Stuart for taking part in it last year. Thanks also to those who sponsored me form the board. Thanks again this year to Johnny and Kitty for your sponsorship.
This year my self and some friends are going to do another walk on the 17th of June fROM Gorleston Beech To Hopton Beach and back. The route we are doing is between five and six miles.
If anybody would like to sponsor me please send me a pm and we can take it from there.
thanks for readin everybody
