I AM writing on behalf of my mum, Pamela Goodall. You published an article about the effect of motor neurone disease on mum and our family. As a result of the article and the Soul and Motown night held in Malvern last month, we have raised £1,050 for research into motor neurone disease.

We would like to say thank you for all the money raised, donations, cards and best wishes received.

Thank you for your support.

HELEN CLARKE, Northwick Road, Bevere, Worcester.
