Roll and Raise Sat 14th June MND Charity event Blackpool

June is MND Awareness Month.

I am proud to be holding this event for our second year running.

This year we have grown this event so a many people can join in.

Below are the different ways you can get involved on the day.

Even if it is just to come and cheer on the cyclists and walking group across the finish line outside the tower, along with the amazing MNDA volunteers and the some of the MND community living in and around Blackpool, and the Mayor of Blackpool, there will be cake and face painting.

The MNDA volunteers are a life line to so many living with MND

”The MNDA have been a lifeline for me and my family, they have supported us through my journey living alongside MND, The MNDA have provided advice, provided financial grants to help with the cost of living increase, not being able to work and my husband as my full time carer this is a huge help, they have enabled us to take family trips to make lasting memories for my children.

But most importantly they are an ear, somebody to talk too, somebody to listen, sometimes the smallest of things are the biggest.” Anna Barrow

ROLL AND RAISE 2025

From Bolton to Blackpool — for everyone affected by Motor Neurone Disease.

I started Roll and Raise after being part of the MND storyline on Coronation Street. The strength, courage, and dignity of the people living with MND inspired me to do something. To give back. To raise voices, funds, and hope.

MND is a terminal illness that affects how people walk, talk, eat and breathe. There is no cure… yet. But together, we can make a difference.

This is more than a bike ride. It’s more than a walk. It’s a movement of love, purpose, and community.
