Money floods in to fight killer disease

Chris Hall is now looking to raise $10,000. 153693

Leopold’s Chris Hall has smashed his goal to raise $1500 for motor neuron disease research (MND) this year after raising $3554 in just a few months.
“If I can raise $10,000 that would be fantastic,” he told the Indy during MND Awareness Week.
The 41-year-old’s quest to wheel 50km in his wheelchair each month began after the recent death of a work colleague with MND.
Chris said people often ask him why he’s raising money for MND, rather than spina bifida, which is why he uses a wheelchair.
“People know what causes spina bifida and how to eliminate it,” he said.
“No one knows how to treat MND or what causes it so, hopefully, the money I raise helps.”
