Fun Fundraiser for Motor Neurone Disease
A message from a PFSC-L Member - Suzanne Case
On Thursday Sept 30th, my brother and I are holding a funky, live music night at the 606 club (www.606club.co.uk) to raise funds for the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association. Kick-off is at 7.30 and we have some of country’s best jazz musicians to perform for you..including Bobby Wellins on the sax. Tickets also include a buffet dinner and entry to the venue.
Why are we doing this? My mum was diagnosed with MND in Sept 2007and died on January 6th 2009. The MND association (http://www.mndassociation.org/) work tirelessly to increase awareness, to raise funds for research and a cure and also to support those affected by the illness and their families. Little is known about MND aside from its particularly cruel nature, that there is no cure and it is fatal. MND affects the neurones in your brain that deliver messages to your muscles so that overtime (usually 12-18 months) your muscles cease to work leaving sufferers unable to walk, eat or speak. The brain usually remains unaffected, meaning that those with the disease can be left trapped in a paralysed body.
So in honour of the courageous people who suffer from MND and those who work towards finding a cure, please come and join me and my family in celebration and optimism for a happy, MND-free future! I look forward to seeing you.
