Today I was reminded of all the great fund raising musician friends of mine are involved with. A letter sent to me from the Motor Neurones Disease Association Northern Ireland reminded of me how important it is to give what you can, when you can.

“Beautiful Beginning” was released independently in 2009 to raise money for MNDA. The release is available here (at a price you decide). For more info on MNDANI, please visit: www.mndani.com

“Beautiful Beginning” was released in August 2009 to help raise money for the Motor Neurones Disease Association Northern Ireland. Thank you to all those who have made a donation. If you have not made a donation yet, you can do so by purchasing the release from Bandcamp or iTunes. Please continue to donate generously.

“Beautiful Beginning” is now available on Spotify and iTunes. More information on the MNDANI can be found at www.mndani.com

All music by Ricky Graham. Music Box (DJ Elemental Remix) By Colin Cathcart. Vocals by Robbie Reid and Louise Sands on “Beautiful Beginning.” Trumpet by Andrew Kitchen on “Beautiful Beginning.” Mastered by Bernard Flanagan. Original Artwork by Ryan Locke. This release is dedicated to the memory of Patrick McGreevy.

The proceeds of this release will be donated to the Motor Neurones Disease Association of Northern Ireland. Due to the few cases of MND every year in the U.K, the research is underfunded and the care services are understaffed. To date, there is no known cure. By giving generously, you are helping researchers and carers for MND throughout the UK. There is more information on the organisation at www.mndani.com. You can make your own donations here! Thanks to everyone who have been involved in these releases over the last few years. Please share this blog entry via email, facebook, twitter, myspace, etc. and help spread awareness of MND.

Thank you,

Ricky
