This Spring, we're taking part in the FightMND Challenge 27.
From 1 September – 27 September, we’ll be taking on a challenge to raise awareness and funds for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in memory of our incredible dad, Tosh, who sadly passed away in 2022 from MND. We’re determined to honour his legacy by making a difference in the fight against this devastating disease.
To pay tribute to him, for the month of September:
- Andrew will be swimming 27km.
- Harry will be surfing 27 times.
- Alex will be walking 270km.
Before Tosh passed away, he shared a piece of advice that we’ll always carry with us: “No matter what life throws at you, always find time to enjoy a beer in the sun.” This simple reminder to savour the good moments, even when times are tough, is something we think about every day. It’s that same spirit of resilience and joy that we’re bringing into this challenge.
Each of us has chosen a challenge that reflects the strength, determination, and love Tosh showed throughout his life, especially during his battle with MND. Our goal is to raise as much as we can to support research, provide care, and work towards a future without MND.
Your support means the world to us. Every donation, no matter how small, will help us honour Tosh’s memory and bring hope to those affected by MND. Thank you for helping us make a difference, and remembering to enjoy a beer in the sun—just like Tosh would have wanted.
Thank you to our Sponsors
