Islanders walking down King Street on Saturday afternoon might have spotted an ice-cold spectacle taking place for a good cause…
Economic Development Minister Kirsten Morel and professional boxer Nick Campbell joined the chair of the Jersey branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association for an “ice bucket challenge” to help the charity raise awareness and collect donations.
MND Association Jersey chair Don Connolly said he was “delighted” that Deputy Morel and Mr Campbell were able to take part in the challenge, which helped mark Global MND Awareness Day with the support of the Hot Bananas choir.
MND is an degenerative condition that affects the brain, and progressively damages the nervous system.
Noting Saturday afternoon’s fundraising efforts, Mr Connolly said the charity was “grateful for everybody’s support”.
