UPDATED 7 August 2020

MISSION 5000

We expect to lose over £2 million this year due to the cancellation of community and sporting events as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. But our fight against MND cannot be delayed. People affected by the disease need our support now, they need their voices heard today. People facing MND in the future need our vital research to continue. That’s why we’re on a mission, and we need you to join us.

Together we want to cover 5,000 miles, that’s a mile for every person living with MND in the UK today. Take part and run, walk, swim, cycle or even scoot however far you can. Every penny you raise will bring us closer to achieving our ultimate mission, a world free from MND.  So we are looking for people to join in with this virtual fundraiser to support The Yorkshire Dales Branch. Along with MND Association national office and Branches and Groups across the country, we want to unite the whole MND community and cover 5000 miles. That represents a mile for every person living with MND in the UK.

Participants can join the challenge and run, walk, swim, cycle or scoot (or anything way they choose!) their miles, between 13 September and 18 October. Every penny raised will help us achieve our ultimate mission; a world free from MND. Anyone can take part and raise funds for us. Sign up by visiting www.mndassociation.org/mission5000 and don’t forget to mention you are supporting the Yorkshire Dales Branch on the sign up and on your fundraising page (for example justgiving.com)

UPDATED 14 March and again 5 June 2020

Following advice from the Association in respect of the Coronavirus we had to cancel  our AGM which was planned for Saturday 21 March 2020

We also had to cancel the lunch planned for 19th May and we have also decided to postpone Swing into Spring 2020 which was due to be held on on April 25th  – we are very disappointed as Spa Sax had promised music celebrating the Anniversary of VE Day. Hopefully we will be able to reschedule later in the year

(Normally) First Tuesday in every month
Drop in Coffee Shop
at Barrows in the Harrogate Antiques Centre, Leeds Road, Pannal.  Do come along!
