NTF News June 2021

Get ready for a summer of fundraising!

2021 promises to be the best year yet for fundraising for the NTF!

This year we have Kitty, NTF Trustee and Children’s Liaison Officer, running two marathons; Anthony Murphy conquering mount Snowdon; and Anne-Lisa Christmas and Sue Harris running the Royal Parks Half Marathon.

In addition to this great news, we have more spaces available for the Royal Parks Half Marathon. If you are interested in running, please get in touch.

This follows on from last year’s success with Curtis Rhodes and Fred Jewitt who ran the virtual London Marathon. We appreciate the support and dedication of our fundraisers.

Are you doing or thinking about doing a fundraising challenge for the NTF? Then let us know!

Thank you!

We would like to thank everyone who has donated to the NTF this month. Your contribution is much appreciated and we really value your support. The NTF relies on donations to ensure it supports people with tremor. As little as the price of a cup of coffee could make the difference to someone's life.

Support group news round up

Jackie Farrell, Support Groups Coordinator

With the uncertainty of when face to face support groups can meet up again, why not check out the online events for June/July? There are a wide variety to choose from including talks with guest speakers.

We appreciate new people may be a little apprehensive, but rest assured no one has to be interactive at meetups. We hope you will join us to meet others with tremors. Jackie
