10 of 26 portraits for @26miles4mnd Sally Light, CEO of the motor neurone disease association. We photographed Sally Light in October 2016. She is the Chief Executive of the Motor Neurone Disease Association – the only national charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland helping people affected by MND and the charity your donations to 26miles4mnd are supporting. “I didn’t have a connection to motor neurone disease when I started here but now I strongly feel I do have a personal connection because I’ve lost so many people that I’d come to care for. Most recently in the last twelve months we lost two trustees from the board which was very, very hard. But I’m optimistic. Last Thursday for instance, I went up to Nottingham and I presented a long service award to a volunteer who’d been with us for thirty years. So those things give you such a feeling of optimism about the ability that the community has to all get behind the cause and really make a difference. I think one of the really important parts of the Association is the massive contribution that’s made by volunteers. We have these eighty-eight branches and groups right across England, Wales and Northern Ireland and they provide fantastic local support to people. They really are the heart of the Association and we couldn’t do a proportion of what we do without them.” ___________________________________________ To help support the work of the motor neurone disease, you can donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/26miles4mnd #MND #ALS #running #marathon #Tallinn #motorneuronedisease
