A group of businesses are working together to raise £100,000 for the Northamptonshire-
based Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association.
The money will fund a research into
MND and help pay for vital equipment, such as communication aids and riser/recliner
chairs, which will be loaned out to people with the disease. It will also fund the
MND Association’s local Regional Care Adviser for a year.

The 100k Business Forum will officially be launched at Northampton Town FC on Saturday
7 May. The event will be attended by Lady Hallifax, President of the MND Association,
and representatives of the 100k Business Forum.

The Forum comprises of: Shortgrove Manor Stud, The Outdoor Group, Fitness First,
MacIntyre Hudson, Royal Bank of Scotland Group, TalkTalk Direct Ltd, Keens Shay 
Keens and Northampton Town Football Club
