Mel Evans Foundation
This Foundation was set up in memory of Mel Evans MBE. Mel was diagnosed with MND in 2016, and sadly passed away in July 2017. As a much loved father, grandfather, partner, friend and bowler who was responsible for bringing Crown Green Bowls back onto TV, we want this Foundation to become a lasting legacy to help those in society who are stricken by MND. The Foundation exists to raise awareness, organise fundraising events and to fund research, which will eventually cure MND.
We are passionate about raising awareness of Motor Neurone Disease. Everyone involved in our Foundation is united behind a shared passion to cure MND. We are an innovative charity, where every single person is powered by those with MND and those we have lost. A cure is not only a wish, it is an obsession.
Darby Rimmer Foundation
Former Liverpool, Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers footballer Stephen Darby and close friend and British Forces Veteran Chris Rimmer partnered together to launch the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. Fellow MND ‘warriors’. Sadly Chris died in 2022, at the age of 39.
Stephen and Chris created a Foundation to generate awareness of MND, to fund and assist research into the illness with the quest of finding a cure for the illness, to raise funds and offer grants to those with MND, as well as creating a network to help provide information and emotional support network for those diagnosed with the disease.
Rob Burrow, icon print (unframed)
Due to the feedback on his work, Paul Jennings has agreed to produce prints of this impactful art. Paul is an incredible artist, and decided to draw this beautiful picture of Rob Burrow out of respect for him; as a player, human being and transformational advocate for Motor Neurone Disease fundraising. As you can see below, Paul has his own devastating experiences with MND.
In his own words:
“I am Lancashire based, and produce pencil portrait art using mainly graphite and carbon pencils on varying types and sizes of paper. I am still developing in styles, form and techniques.
I have lost 3 immediate family members to MND ALS, and want to make a difference, however possible, in supporting charity and raising awareness for MND via producing artwork”.

Unframed and numbered. Chloe is already published 5 times globally and has exhibited, mainly in London and America. Her work will continue to grow in value.
Chloe in her own words:
Hi my names Chloe Alexia, 26, my art journey started from a very young age, probably since I could pick up a pencil. I have a very interesting back story, one of pain and darkness, art is the only thing that got me through.
I became a professional hyper realistic artist in April 2023, and am now proud to hold 5 x global publishings.
I exhibit all my artwork mainly in America, and London.
Hyper Realism definitely is a challenge but there’s a story in every detail on a person’s face and being able to connect that with just a pencil and bit of paper truly amazes me.
