Motor Neurone Disease Awareness, Boxing Day v Portsmouth

[craigbratt]

Hi all, hope you don't mind me starting a thread on here.

I'm sure you may have seen that Boxing Day's game is dedicated to awareness of MND following Marcus Stewart and Peter Eveleigh's diagnosis - https://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/news/2022/december/club-to-support-mnd/

All monies raised will be split 50/50 between their two fundraising campaigns. On match day and in the build up there will be loads of stuff on our social media channels, plus loads of bucket collectors out and about. The first video with the MNDA has just gone up on socials -

I'd appreciate if you are on Twitter and Facebook to give the campaign some attention, even just a share or like goes a long way to getting the message out there about this horrible disease and raise awareness of the campaign.

Let's support two of our own and do what we can to help find a cure.

Cheers,
Craig
