7 in 7: The Grand Finale

Today was really tough – the longest day of the challenge so far. The miles are hard but we’re determined to keep going and keep on pushing.
 
From Wakefield, through Leeds, Bradford and into Huddersfield we’ve been overwhelmed by the love, kindness and generosity we've seen along the way.
 
This week has shown us that the challenges have never really been about running. They’re about raising awareness, building a community and making sure people affected by MND feel loved and supported. Thanks to you, and the incredible work of our charities, they do.
 
Thank you for everything you’re doing to support the wonderful MND community.

This challenge is all about the MND community and today we got to see once again just how wonderful that community really is.
 
At every stop we shared precious moments with people with MND and their families – every smile, every hug pushing us to go even further.
 
That sense of community was there at the Extra Mile where crowds of people were waiting to greet us and it was there in Wakefield where we were honoured to meet Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales, a moment, I know, I will never forget.
 
Every day this challenge gets harder but we must keep pushing and we will keep fighting.
 
Thank you for your support, it truly means everything.

The love, care and compassion you’re all showing to the MND community is just incredible – it just means so much to all of us.

Today has been the most incredible day. From the moment we left Shiptonthorpe, through to the Extra Mile in York and our arrival at Bishopthorpe Palace there have been people everywhere, each one showing their support for this wonderful community.

I’ve been honoured to meet so many people with MND and their families today and to meet HRH The Princess Royal and for her to bang the drum to send us on our way was just so special.

If you haven’t already done so please donate. Just a pound gives people affected by this devastating disease hope for the future.

Thank you,
Kevin

The first day of 7 in 7: The Grand Finale is complete and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who turned out between Hull and Shiptonthorpe today to make it so special.
 
To all the people living with MND and their families who took the time to chat with us and share their stories, thank you for continuing to inspire us; to the choirs and to the crowds of people who lined the streets and to all of you for your generous donations – thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
 
Together you’re doing something really amazing. Every pound you’re donating is making a huge difference to the lives of people living with this devastating disease, funding support and more research towards potential new treatments.
 
Let’s keep on banging the drum.
 
Thank you so much.

A big thank you to everyone who has donated to our challenge – we can see every donation and we’re so grateful.
For people affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND), your support is really important.
Every pound goes directly to six MND charities, helping them to support people living with this devastating disease right now as well as funding vital research which drives progress towards new treatments.
We’re just days away from the start of 7 in 7: The Grand Finale in Hull and we can’t wait to be there – meeting people from across the MND community who are right at the heart of everything we are doing.
If you can spare a pound, or the time to come out and see us on the road, we’d love to see you.
Thank you for your support.
