Taking Steps Together to D'Feet MND

Walk to D'Feet* MND is a national fundraiser which encourages people to get together and hold sponsored walks during MND Awareness Week (16-24 June 2007).

Last year's event was an enormous success, with over 80 walks of various sizes nationwide, raising an incredible £125,000.
A huge thank you to all those who made the event a success, especially to our dedicated Team Leaders.
The 2006 event also took on a World Cup theme with every registered walker linked to Italy receiving a Gold Medal.
Winners received their awards at the Annual Conference. They were:
