Defying all odds and medical expectations, Paul Jameson, a Guildford man diagnosed with a rare form of Motor Neurone Disease (MND), is embarking on a remarkable journey to complete eight charity challenges — with the aim of raising £88,000 for the MND Association.
Diagnosed in June 2017 at the age of 57 with Bulbar Palsy, a rare and aggressive variant of MND, Mr. Jameson was initially given just six months to live. Now, eight years later, he is not only surviving but thriving — determined to turn his experience into a force for good.
“I was given six months. I never imagined I’d be here eight years later, let alone planning to break world records,” said Mr. Jameson. “This journey is about hope, strength, and giving back.”
His campaign, launched this month, includes a bold goal: breaking four Guinness World Records as part of the eight total challenges — each symbolizing a year of life since diagnosis. The events will test both physical and mental endurance and aim to raise awareness about MND, a progressive disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
Jameson’s efforts have already garnered support from local charities, sponsors, and public figures. His story has inspired hundreds, and donations are pouring in as his mission gains momentum.
The funds raised will go directly to the MND Association, supporting vital research, treatment innovation, and care for those living with the condition.
