There is still time for you to join the Regal Regiment’s team for the Sydney Running Festival on 20 September.
Amy Regal is the driving force behind the team, determined to help raise money to fund research into Motor Neurone Disease.
Her brother, Adam Regal, is the latest in her family to be diagnosed with MND and he has become the public face of the battle for a cure.
You can do your bit by registering for a marathon, a half marathon, a bridge run or a family fun run. Fifty people have taken up the challenge so far, but there’s always room for more.
Last year the Regiment’s run raised around $5000 for Professor Rowe’s research team at Macquarie University working to find a cure for MND.
This year’s sponsors of the team are Kiama Blooms the Chemist, Redi-lite Solar, Premier Catering Supplies, Blanchard Haulage and the major sponsor Harrison and Higgins of Wagga Wagga.
If you aren’t quite up to participating in a running festival, your donation would be very much appreciated.

If you’re more into rock than running, the local Rock for Regal night has spawned a Melbourne fundraiser, in the iconic AC/DC Lane, organised by Adam’s mate Den Murray.
Spread the word it’s on 24 Oct, at the Cherry Bar, AD/DC Lane. Six bands for $13, with all the money raised going to MND research.
