Why?

Each year on 21 June the MND Association joins with the wider MND community around the world to mark Global MND Awareness Day.

On Global MND Awareness Day, the MND Association, our branches, groups, volunteers, supporters and staff join forces with our peers across the world to honour our remarkable community. We acknowledge people living with MND and their carers, and remember those who have died from the disease.

For MND carers every day is the longest day.

I’m happy to chat through fundraising ideas—please reach out if you’d like to discuss. So far, suggestions have included hikes, beer buses, cycle rides, horse rides, and using the event’s visibility to launch a walking rugby programme. No idea is a bad idea! We’re currently working on a plan (for 15th June) where four clubs will hike to Winchester RFC and celebrate with some well-earned refreshment in the city’s fantastic hostelries.

Looking forward to seeing how we can make this a big success together.

Best regards,
Tristan
Chair, Romsey RFC
