Georgia Stanway supports Barrow man through MND fund

The shirt will go towards Graf's MND Fund, which was set up by Stephen Grafton in May this year.

Stephen made this decision after learning that his best friend Carl Maguire was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, a rare condition that affects the brain and nerves and eventually causes muscle wasting.

Stephen said: "Georgia has very kindly signed her match shirt and I’ve had it framed by the lovely team at White Wall Gallery and Framers.

"A massive thanks to Georgia and her dad, Paul, for supporting Graf's MND Fund in order to raise funds to help my mate

"This is your chance to win this truly one of a kind framed shirt - it’s an ideal Christmas gift."

To ensure the lucky winner receives it before the big day, the raffle will be drawn on Sunday, December 1.

A £5 donation gives you the chance of taking Georgia's shirt home to add it to your memorabilia collection, and there is no limit to how many entries you can make.

Since the fund was established earlier this year, various people throughout the community have shown their support for Stephen's efforts with Georgia just the latest to get involved.

In September, a family fun day was held at Barrow Island ARLFC with £1,752 raised as a result.

And, in the same month, a bake sale was held at the town by hall by staff members from Westmorland and Furness Council, bringing in £254.14.

Through this support, the MND Fund has since surpassed the £4,000 mark, with the original goal having only stood at £500.

All the money raised will go towards providing the care needed by Carl when the time comes.
