Can you help?

I'm on the cadge today.

A year ago a close friend's brother, Leslie, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease of the most virulent form – Progressive Bulbar Pulsay. At the slender age of 40 it is extremely rare to have this disease so young and sadly there is no known cure. Within a year he has gone from full movement to only being able to communicate through moving an eyelid.

There is a circa 7 mile sponsored walk taking place on Good Friday, 2nd April to raise money for MD research. The area for the walk will be ‘The Cornish Way’, more specifically Carclaze to Pentewan with the start of the trail covering Drummond’s Hill – the stretch that Leslie constructed.

I'd be really grateful for any sponsorship you may be willing to offer. Every little helps and if you're ouside of the UK I can take Paypal donations at mail@matlemmings.com - we'll be covering the charges to make sure that every $ sent gets to where it should.

If you're able to help and could let me have your pledge amount before Tuesday I'd really appreciate it.

And if you'd like any further information, or - gasp - would like to take part yourself, just ask!

Thanks

Mat
