His efforts have raised over £2 million now! Splendid effort for his mate.

Absolutely brilliant effort and a real heartfelt act to help, not only a friend but also a much wider range of people who have this terrible ailment.

Incredible achievement. His original target was £77k and he’s over £2m !

Does anyone know how Lennie Johnrose is getting on ?
I attended a golf charity event arranged for MND a while ago and at the time he was doing quite a lot of media to raise awareness and share his own experience. He was on the local TV news.
With all the recent coverage for Rob Burrows and a few other high profile ex sports professionals I thought we might here from Lennie too.

As said it’s such a dreadful and debilitating thing is MND and the deterioration can often happen so quickly.

An amazing achievement but in perspective Eddie Izzard, a comedian, did 30 in 30.
