THE 150MND WALK
A 150 Mile walking challenge from Twickenham to and around the Isle of Wight for the MND community
Thanks to the incredible achievements of Kevin Sinfield and Bravery of Rob Burrow, Doddie Weir and many others, the general public are much more aware or at least heard of this awful Terminal Illness with no known Cure .
Sadly, a close friend within our local community (Rob Steele) was diagnosed with MND last year. A group of friends came together (Team: 150MND) to organise an event to raise even more awareness and funds for the on-going research, Most of Team: 150MND are the Participants in the challenge, supported by other helpers and assistants.
Team: 150MND wanted a challenge to raise even more money and awareness for MND, we came up with this idea over a pint in the local George & Dragon Pub, Tonbridge.
It is a gruelling challenge for any Fit Sportsman to walk 150 miles in 7 days and Team: 150MND are mainly “Novice Walkers” but we will train and have no end of determination to see it through and make it happen for Rob and MND research. This is not our first challenge or fundraiser, between us and individually, we have raised many thousands for worthy causes. Likewise, with our close friend Rob suffering MND and with huge admiration and inspiration from Kevin Sinfield, we held a local event in August 2023 and raised just short of 80k in one night. It was a tremendous effort from local people, we donated all the proceeds to the MNDA and My Name’5 Doddie Weir Foundation (the two Main Charities).
As a follow-up to this success, we wanted to do something more challenging for the same cause and raise even more money for the charities, the team have organised the:-
