Yesterday at Everywhen Norwich, we had the pleasure of welcoming Ellie Preston-Bloom from the Norfolk, Suffolk & Essex Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association . Ellie joined us, as my guest, following my recent marathon fundraising efforts, and it was a brilliant opportunity to continue raising awareness.
Although I’ve always felt I had a good understanding of MND and the work of the MNDA, it became clear that awareness in our local area isn’t as strong as it could be. A key part of Ellie’s role is to educate, inform, and build that understanding — and she delivered exactly that.
Across two insightful sessions, Ellie talked us through the disease, what it means for those diagnosed, and how it affects the body over time. She also shared the incredible support the charity provides to individuals and families, along with the fundraising events they run and champion across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.
The passion Ellie has for her work was evident throughout. Engagement was high both in the room and over Teams, and everyone left feeling more informed — and more motivated to do even more.
A huge thank you again to Ellie. We look forward to supporting the MND Association further in the near future.
