Running in Memory. Raising Awareness. Making a Difference. 

Starter Steve is raising vital awareness and funds for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in loving memory of his Uncle David.

David was diagnosed with MND in November 2024 and heartbreakingly passed away in April 2025. Since his passing, Steve has committed to 12 months of fundraising to honour David’s memory and to support others affected by this devastating disease.

This event is about more than running — it’s about coming together to raise both funds and awareness for MND.

There is no set race fee. Instead, we ask for a minimum donation of £10, payable on the day. If you are able to give more, we would be incredibly grateful — every single donation makes a difference.

To help us plan, please register your interest in advance so we can gauge numbers.

All funds raised are deeply appreciated by our family in memory of a much-loved Husband, Brother, Grandfather and Uncle.

We would also love runners and supporters to wear blue or orange on the day in solidarity and support
