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.
Other charities
We have supported multiple MND charities and are open to this in the future. Jack Russell, former England cricketer and incredible artist has kindly supported Dave Setters’ City Against MND cricket day at Blackheath CC for many years. Money has gone to either My Name’5 Doddie or UK MND Research Institute. We have also raised several thousand pounds for Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. Including at Football Against MND.

Kaplan Gadson Musinguzi – Gorilla 1. Original work. 38cm by 51cm
A one-off original of a gorilla drawn from Kaplan’s local Bwindi Forest National Park. The mist is depicted by the fog structure in the background. Kaplan is a world class artist, who like Artists Against MND, values the difference art can make to people and society as a whole.
Kaplan Gadson Musinguzi is an African artist, who lives within Bwindi Forest National Park in Uganda. After an initial discussion, Richard met Kaplan on a WhatsApp video call, and had a tour of Kaplan’s studio and ‘met’ some of his friends and family. His work features in premium art galleries. Kaplan is our only artist in residence at an ape sanctuary!!
Kaplan is inspired to capture the endangered wildlife he sees. He is especially attracted to drawing apes. He studied art and design at Michelangelo College of Creative Arts in Kisubi. His major styles are scribbling, pen and pencil drawing, painting and sculpting. Using just a ball point pen he captures the emotive expression in the eyes, and through his art he hopes to make people aware of the damage climate change is doing to these animals’ habitat. We are so grateful to Kaplan for gifting his original work. Especially as Richard’s Dad was a supporter of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
