Colin Holton said: "MND is a devastating disease that affects up to 5,000 adults in the UK at any one time and kills six people every day. There is no cure.
"The MND Association focuses on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"Lets have some fun for a very worthy cause and help try and conquer this".
