This event is run by sisters Doreen Gant and Jennie Lewis in loving memory of their Mum, Mavis Summerfield, who died of MND in 2002.

Jennie, Chair of the MNDA Isle of Wight branch, commented ‘Our fund-raising efforts have been severely impacted by Covid restrictions over the last two years so we are calling upon local people to support us and come along on the day. Please email me with any queries or to hire a table on the day’. (jalewis2111@gmail.com)
