Hi, we are asking for donations in memory of Pete/Dad to go to the Motor Neurone Disease Association, it will raise funds to support families living with this awful disease and to help find a cure. We are only having family flowers for dads funeral so any contributions instead of flowers would be very much appreciated. it does not matter how little as every penny counts. 50% of donations will go to our Local Branch East and North Herts MNDA which help to support local families and the other 50% will be going to the Main MNDA Branch towards support and Research.

Many thanks, Lots of Love from all the family xxx


Back in January 2019 our dad started having tests and sadly was diagnosed in March 19 with Motor Neurone Disease. Not much is known about this evil disease and definitely not enough, sadly the most known thing about it is it's what Professor Stephen Hawking had but unfortunately no other sufferer had the life he had as no case is the same. It is estimated that 5000 people in the uk at any given time have Motor Neurone Disease.

More research needs to be done to understand and help battle this disgusting disease, it devistates lives and families and needs to be stopped.

With this in mind and to support our dad. We have run 5k a day..... Charlotte and Ivana have completed 50k over the course 10 consecutive days and Dean run 85k over 18 days (equivalent to a double marathon) 

*completed* Our next challenge is May Bank holiday weekend. We will all be taking part in the nationwide fancy dress 5k a day (sat, sun and mon) with other people fundraising for the MNDA, all participants will be completing the 5k in their own household units or alone and then updating everyone with progress through the power of Facebook.

The boys completed Run 21.

Now we are on to mission 5000 where we will make our contribution in miles and this is what mission 5000 is all about......Together we want to cover 5,000 miles, that’s a mile for every person living with MND in the UK today.

*COMPLETED* ALSO Dean loves to draw and will be drawing between 20th Sept and 1st Jan and all the money is to be donated to the MNDA through this page! https://m.facebook.com/bigdean0designs/

We will keep raising money and awareness for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. This has been a huge deal for us all as for those who dont know us well we are not big runners but wanted to do something to raise money and awareness and we are absolutely amazed by the amount you have all kindly donated so far ❤ 

If you can spare anything please please donate to our cause and help us fight this evil disease and help other people and families, we appreciate that this is a very difficult financial time for everyone but if you can spare £1 that would be fantastic 

Thank you 

Lots of love from all of our family  x
