This year marks the 45th anniversary of MND Scotland, and we need your support now more than ever. As the only charity in Scotland dedicated to directly supporting those affected by MND as well as investing in research, we rely on fundraised income to continue our work.
Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, a master baker, cycling enthusiast or simply looking for a unique way to fundraise, we have put together 45 ways for you to get involved this year and help make time count for families affected by motor neuron disease.
