In Memory of Mum: Maratona Fundraiser

This July, we - Joe, Katherine & her fiancé Chris - will be taking on the Maratona dles Dolomites, one of the most iconic cycling events in the world.


We’re doing this in memory of our mum, Helen, who we sadly lost recently after a short battle with Motor Neurone Disease.


She was an incredible mum, and even when facing MND, she showed remarkable courage and resilience. We wanted to honour her by doing something meaningful and challenging, while raising money for vital research into this devastating disease. 


We’re supporting three causes that mean a great deal to us:

• The MND Association - funding research and supporting those affected.

• Princess Alice Hospice - who provided outstanding care to Mum in her final months.

• The MS Society - helping fund research to find a cure for MS, which sadly took our dad, Philip, in 2008.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference.


Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story, and for any support you can give.


Joe, Katherine & Anna
