The copy below is taken verbatim from Just Giving Page.? It is inspirational that these young people at a very difficult time have chosen to be positive and raise funds for MNDA in East Kent, supported by a very positive father with MND.

Please support these young people?to?achieve their target of ?5000 for MND.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the start of this year our world was completely turned upside down. We were given the unexpected and heartbreaking news that our Father has got Motor Neurone Disease (MND). None of us knew that much about the illness, the effects, a cure, or what was to come. To then be told it is a terminal illness and we only have a few precious months left with our dad was the worst we could have imagined.

However our dad is amazing and has been so positive since the diagnosis. He has continued about his normal life overcoming or adapting to challenges he faces. We are as a whole family very proud of him and his positivity. His and mums aim is to make as many people aware of MND and the symptoms along with raising as much money as we can for the East Kent MND Group. So all money raised will go to the local East Kent MNDA Group.

MND is a progressive disease involving degeneration of the motor neurons and wasting of the muscles. Early symptoms include…weakened grip, increasing slurred speech, excess saliva, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, tiredness, leg/arm shakes. If you notice these symptoms ask to be checked, there is a lot of support available.

Over the course of the year we are going to be holding lots of fundraising events and taking part in many different activities to raise money for our local MND Charity. We would love your support whether it be ideas, donations, or if you are already taking part in an event and haven’t chosen a charity we would love you to choose ours.

We will post regular updates to the page with fundraising events and look forward to your support.

Thank you!

David, Amanda, Hayley & Donna
