Fudge Kitchen has announced a meaningful partnership with the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association, with a series of impactful and engaging fundraising activities across the country throughout June.
This month, Fudge Kitchen teams and customers will come together to raise vital funds and awareness for those affected by motor neurone disease, a life-shortening neurological condition that affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. With fundraising activity scheduled around key June milestones, including Father’s Day, National Fudge Day and Global MND Awareness Day, Fudge Kitchen aim to raise both funds and awareness for a cause that is close to their hearts.
The decision to support the MND Association this year is a deeply personal one for Katy Towse, Fudge Kitchen PR and Marketing Manager, who lost her father, Andy Morris, to MND in 2019. Seeing firsthand the profound impact this condition can have, Katy was keen to shine a light on a disease that urgently needs more awareness, more research, and more support;
“This partnership is our way of standing in solidarity with every individual and family affected by MND. I’m very grateful for the support my own family received from the MND Association during my dad’s illness, and I’m delighted to now have the opportunity to give something back. Of course, our goal is to raise essential funds and awareness for the charity—but on a personal level, I’m proud to be part of a campaign that not only has real impact but also celebrates his memory in such a fun and meaningful way.”
MND Association Relationship Fundraiser, Libby Hannelle said: “We are so grateful to Katy and the team at Fudge Kitchen for choosing to support the MND Association with not one, but three incredible events!
“With a chance to handmake delicious fudge, a limited-edition Rocky Road slice which has been made especially to raise money for the MND Association, and the Tour de Fudge, there are plenty of ways for customers and supporters to get involved during the month of June.
“For people living with MND and their families support like this really does mean the world. “Every penny raised will allow the Association to improve care and support, while also funding research into potential new treatments and the promise of the cure.
“We wish Katy and the team the very best of luck!”
