Walk While You Can for IMNDA this October!

Every day the most remarkable people face the toughest of battles and that’s why I’m walking while I can in support of people living with Motor Neurone Disease. Please help me reach my fundraising target or join me by walking 5km.

This autumn, it’s up to all of us to ensure that Walk While You Can continues to raise urgently needed funds for people living with MND. So not only are you helping to fund our nursing service, extra home care hours and critical equipment that's needed to keep people at home - you are also sending a powerful message of hope to every family affected by MND.

There are more than 470 people affected by this cruel and debilitating disease all across Ireland. The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is the only organisation in this country supporting these families and it’s a charity that’s very close to my heart.

By walking or donating you will keep the amazing MND nurses in the communities where they are needed most.

Please support my fundraising efforts and help me ensure that every person living with MND receives the dedicated care and support they need.

Hope starts with one step, change happens with many.

Walk While You Can, where you can, with who you can.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Walk While You Can 5km walk in support of the Motor Neurone Disease Association. 💙

Our Walk

Sunday 5th Oct
✨ Nichola and I will be walking 5 km in Ballycumber on 25 October! ✨

LINK TO DONATE:

Why this cause matters: 

The IMNDA is the only organisation in Ireland that offers specialist services for people with Motor Neurone Disease and their families, at no cost to them. Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association
They provide MND outreach nurses, loans of specialized equipment (like wheelchairs, hoists, communication aids), counselling, and home care grants — all funded by donations

Over 80 % of their income comes from fundraising and public generosity. 

 
Even small contributions add up and help make a real difference 💚

How you can help:
• Sponsor me 
• Share this post so more people know about MND and this event

Let’s walk together while you can and support those whose “walk” is made so much harder by Motor Neurone Disease.
