See You "On The Tee"
Hi, I'm Ben.
Thanks for taking the time to visit the site and learn a little more about 'On The Tee For MND'. Our purpose is to run annual golf days aimed at raising awareness and donations for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).
MND is a nerve degenerative condition which affects the nerves known as motor neurones, which impacts the muscles, brain and spinal cord. On average, 1 in 300 people are diagnosed with MND, and at any one time, there are 5000 people in the UK living with MND. It is a fatal condition which currently has no cure, but tireless efforts are being made throughout the world to change this, and continuing to support these efforts by raising awareness and fundraising is a way of "doing our bit".
The personal connection to MND which my family and I share is that my Mum was diagnosed in 2016. Dawn lived with MND right up until New Year's Day 2023 when we heartbreakingly said our goodbyes. During her life, she attended events for MND and completed fundraising events herself, including completing the Great North Run in 2019 with the support of my brother Jordan and her best friend's partner Carl. My Dad David and my wife Natalie, as well as other family members have tried to support her efforts with fundraising and continue to do so in her absence as a legacy to her.
Our first golf event took place in 2023 at Carden Park in Cheshire. My Mum knew of this event but unfortunately was not with us to see the day unfold, which was a huge success. As a result, 'On The Tee For MND' was born and the decision to run annual events was made. All events include a donation to MNDA from every participant, so you can have an enjoyable day on the golf course knowing that you have contributed in the same way as everyone else. It is important to us that 'On The Tee For MND' continues to be a collective effort, and your support by participating and spreading the word helps towards this.
Thank you again. My family and I look forward to seeing you "On The Tee" soon.
