We’re delighted to share the news with you that MND research is to receive a £5.7 million cash injection from the Association, thanks to Leeds Rhinos’ Kevin Sinfield, Rob Burrow and our community.
Kevin’s 7 in 7 Challenge last December raised £2.2 million and he, his inspiration and team-mate Rob Burrow and our teams, have discussed the most impactful way to spend the money.
Around a quarter of the funds will be targeted towards research with money also ear-marked for our children and young persons’ work, our care centre network, MND Connect and the regional team in the north.
As a result of the heightened awareness created by Rob and Kevin leading to more fundraising activity, and our community’s incredible response during the pandemic, the Association has now committed an extra £2 million to MND research, on top of the £3 million already committed this year. Read more in our latest news story.
