Support Mike Findley

Next Saturday June 5th sees an event taking place in Redcar which I urge as many of you as possible to support. It's in aid of the Mike Findley MND (Motor Neuron Disease)Fund. Mike is a my former divisional rep. On 17th June 2005 he was diagnosed with having Motor Neurone Disease. Although this news was a great shock, Mike being Mike, along with his family and friends formed “The Mike Findley MND Fund” which to date has raised £50,458.43 for research.
 In 2003 and again in 2007 Mike was elected a Redcar Borough Councillor for the Longbeck Ward, which covers part of Marske and all of New Marske. Then in 2007 he was elected Deputy Mayor then becoming Mayor in 2008. When he attended over 300 functions.
 In January 2010 he was awarded the MBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours List, for Charity work in Redcar and Cleveland.

 The CWU will be well represented on the day which starts with a "Morning of Music”. This will take place betweeen 10am & 12.30am in Marske Square, invited are Country & Western singers, Marske Brass Band, Robsons Acadamy Irish Dancers plus Young Entertainers & hopefully others.
  The main event is the “Walk to D’feet – Sponsored Walk” at 1pm.. The walkers will be sent on their way by “Voice of the Boro” Alastair Brownlee”, Ali will also be taking part with his pet dog Benjamin. The walk will start from Marske Square to Redcar Boating Lake. All registered walkers get a Free ‘T’ Shirt to walk in to help raise awareness of this terrible disease along the route.
 Please try and attend. To register please contact Mike by email:- mikefindley@ntlworld.com or call 07805764212. If you can’t make it maybe you would be good enough to sponsor Mike and his Team who are taking it in turn to push him in the wheelchair.
