Mount Kilimanjaro trek - fundraising for the MNDA

[PNM]

Hi all! 

 

In September, a group of us will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness about Motor Neurone Disease. It is a truly devastating disease that has sadly taken the lives of two amazing people who were very dear to us.

 

One of them was my Dad, who got me in to football when I was a kid in the 90s. He used to play left back (the position he said no one else wanted to play ) for a local Leicester team called Santos (they all idolised Pele and the Brazil team). Even though he never really fully supported a club, he'd always ask 'How did CITY do?' every weekend (screw you Man City). He was over the moon when we won the league in 2016, and I always wanted to take him to the the KP while he still could. Thankfully,  I managed to take him to the City-Leeds league cup game a few years back, and he had a blast. I reckon if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have had such a passion for our awesome team.

 

To help tackle MND, we are raising money for the MND Association. We’d be extremely grateful for any fundraising support, no matter how big or small. 

Donations can be made at

Please help us fight this cruel disease.

 

Thank you.

I’m not sure climbing a mountain on gurners is the best idea to be honest.

Joking aside, it’s an awesome thing to do and something I hope to do at some point soon. All the best.

My mother has MND and is now at the later stages.

It's a horrible disease affect not only the the person who has it but all of those who have to deal with all the help and stress that goes with it.

Good luck Punit, it's a big mountain.

So sorry to hear this mate. It really is horrible. If you ever want to talk about it, or need any support, then please do get in touch. 

 

Thank you for the support too.
