Welcome to the News page of the South Yorkshire Branch. 

_______________________________________________________________

 From August 2007 the Branch will have this new website to offer as an addition to our other services, and we hope it will prove to be both useful and informative to all who use it. We intend to keep the content up to date, to bring you news of our regular meetings in Sheffield and Rotherham and of other Social or Fund raising events which are arranged throughout the year. The quarterly News Letter, which this site has been set up to complement,  will of course continue to be sent out.
If you have anything to share for either the News letter or web siteplease contact :-

The Motor Neurone Disease Association has again been selected as one of the chosen charities to benefit from the 2010 Sheffield Half Marathon and we want to get as many people as we can to run with us.

This is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of MND in our region and hopefully raise lots of money for people in South Yorkshire living with MND.

We can help with information and advice about starting your training schedule if you are new to running and help to keep you motivated over the coming months.

Runners must be 17 or over on the race day, entry fee £20 if you apply before April. 2010 (£2.00 reduction for UKA club members). Finishers all receive a medal and a T shirt and all entrants running for the Association will receive an MND T shirt or running vest to wear for the event.

If a half marathon is not a realistic goal what about the Fun Run? Like the Half Marathon the 3K Fun Run starts and ends at the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield, is open to all ages and is accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs making it a real family event. .Entrance fee £5.00. Certificates for all entrants.
