Neil's Snowdon Walk for MND

02/06/2024

What a legend of a man! Rob, his wife Lindsey and all of his amazing family and friends have done so much to raise awareness of MND and the devastation it causes. Rob’s journey and support of his friend Kevin Sinfield and his rugby family reminds me of Neil Williams in so many ways. May he now rest in peace along with Neil and of course Doddie and hope they all find each other there at the bar!!! 💙🧡🍻🏉

Former Leeds Rhinos star Rob Burrow, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, has died at the age of 41.

A massive well done to Matt Cheezie Jones, Rich, Stuart and Martin who safely completed the 'La Doyenne' challenge 🚵 in support of https://www.justgiving.com/Neilssnowdonwalk1

The 143km ride forms part of one of the toughest one day cycle races in the world, with 2600m of climbing (equivalent to ascending Snowdon 3.5 times) 😳🥵.

A few people have asked if the page is still open and the Just Giving link is still taking donations….. The answer is ‘yes it is’ and we’ll keep it open until the end of September. So, if anyone still has their walks to do please send any final monies raised to https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Neilssnowdonwalk1?fbclid=IwAR12P3O0cuh137P32EOEGCaoaKIpNgDe7lKRQZb_yc_IUwO24Sf2eznib5A .

We must also give a shout out to Nesscliffe YFC Nesscliffe Young Farmers Club who raised an amazing £3600 for the MND Association with their 24 hour walk around Nesscliffe Hill. This is in addition to the £11k raised for Neil’s Snowdon Walks! Well done everyone involved!! A fantastic amount raised for a great cause. 👏💪

Neil and family you are just amazing xx

A message from Neil;

We did it! A massive thank you to everyone who joined us on the walk up Snowdon and those who did their own walks today or have them planned. The one thing this disease has taught me is how many amazing friends I have. Thank you all who have donated. I would like the money that we have raised to be used to help those people suffering with MND to live a normal and dignified life for as long as possible. Thanks again, I’m going for a lie down! 😆🙏🙏

Please share! Who is in? We are!
MND Association

Welcome to Neil’s Snowdon Walk page. Since posting the event date on FB, many of you have been asking about the details of the 29th May when Neil, Jo and a few family and friends are aiming to climb Mount Snowdon in order to raise awareness and much needed funds for MND.

In a nutshell, we are still against the whole Covid restrictions and we are still going to be limited to 40 people meeting up in Wales on the day. For that reason, only a few close friends and family will be completing the challenge together on that day! HOWEVER, we still want you ALL to join in WHENEVER or WHEREVER you are in the country/world!!!!

Get together in groups of friends and or family and have a go yourselves. It may be climbing Snowdon, Ben Nevis or even just the hill to the local pub!!

Neil would love you all to share your journeys using this and the event discussion page. It would be great to get 120 participants which, on the day of the climb, will be the number of weeks that have passed since Neil was diagnosed with this awful disease in February 2019.

We have a Just Giving page set up for and donations/sponsorship for any of you out there taking on the challenge with us. All monies will go direct to the MND Association who are a fantastic organisation supporting those suffering with MND and their families.

Please see link in following posts.

Please feel free to ask questions using this and the Event pages and we will try and get back to you!

The MNDA have kindly donated various T-Shirts and fundraising merchandise which we will happily post out to you if you get in touch!

Thank you all and wishing you lots of fun and good luck!!
