University of Edinburgh research and support staff, including Chloe Kippen, Denise Cranley, Graham Campbell, Heather Anderson, Jenni Stewart, Jenny Durkin, Leisa Thomas, Richard Perry, Shuna Colville, Shyamanga Borooah, Steph Hay and Vicky Olver, hope to raise at least £2000 to help take the Euan MacDonald Centre another step further towards a better understanding of motor neurone disease.

About Motor Neurone Disease

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a debilitating disease that leads to muscle weakness, paralysis and sadly is usually fatal within a few years. The Euan MacDonald Centre for MND Research is committed to defeating this devastating disease through fundamental innovative research.

Dance the night away
