May 2026 Fundraising

Meet Andrew...

Andrew, 67, was diagnosed with PLS in April 2024 after a long diagnostic journey. Despite his symptoms, which included falls and a broken back in 2019, he remained active working as an area sales manager until his diagnosis. Andrew participated in the Rob Burrow Marathon in May 2025 raising over £30,000. He champions the importance of a positive mental attitude and adaptability as the disease progresses. 

We visited Andrew in June 2025.
