Big Freeze In The Marsh 2025

2025 DIY Big Freeze

Gearing up !

Not long now till our sliders enter those icy waters!!
A huge thank you to all who have donated so far . Your support in raising funds is greatly appreciated . 🙏

The countdown is on !!!!

Three sleeps to go, no doubt our sliders will be excited with this cold snap in the weather ! 😂😂
Another huge thank you to all who have thrown their support behind our sliders and this very important cause . Every donation is greatly appreciated.🙏
Looking forward to seeing many from our community  and beyond on Saturday,  for what no doubt will be another very entertaining event! #FightMND

We're fundraising for FightMND

On  Saturday, 31st of May, We are taking part in this year's Big Freeze In The Marsh to fundraise to help FightMND beat the Beast that is motor neurone disease (MND).

MND is a progressive disease that gradually takes away a person’s use of their arms and legs, their ability to eat and swallow, their speech and ultimately, their ability to breathe.… all in an average timeframe of just 27 months. Please help us by donating through our page.

It only takes a minute, and any money you can give will go to improving care for people living with MND, funding research into more effective treatments, and eventually, finding a cure.

Thank you, we really appreciate your support. Together we can defeat the Beast.

Thank you to our Sponsors
