💙🧡 Mark Sommerville Foundation Open Pairs 🧡💙

Here are a few photos from our Open Pairs on Saturday, held in support of The Mark Sommerville Foundation and their important work supporting MND research.

It was a fantastic day at Orbiston, but more importantly, it was a day where everyone came together to support a truly worthwhile cause. MND has a devastating impact on individuals and their families, and raising awareness and much-needed funds for research is so important in the hope of finding better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible, to all the teams who took part, and to everyone who came along, donated, bought raffle tickets or simply showed their support. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps make a difference. 👏💙

Amazing day with amazing people. I loved meeting some of the MSF family today, and sorry for the ones that I missed. Mark Sommerville is a very loved Man. Mainly because he is such an incredible strong inspiring human. Today has filled my wee heart with love and gratitude.
